  • Delicious riff on a sour — ★★★★
  • I followed a slightly Dif recipe. 3/4 oz... all changed to 1oz. Rest is the same. Pretty good. Made in honor of Chiefs on Super Bowl.

Tasty. I could see adapting this into a tall drink with rocks and soda.

However, the Democratic party symbol is a donkey not a mule.

Touché.  I have updated my previous error.  Cheers.

While this tastes great, I wouldn't say it makes a unique cocktail but more so a fantastic Margarita variation. VeeV really brings all the other flavor components together vs. setting its self apart, at least with cocktails that contain agressive flavors such as tequila, chartreuse, etc.

Any good substitutions for the Mirto? I'm meaning to buy Tremontis but I don't have space in the budget for it right now.

Dan commented on 3/10/2013:

Mirto has an earthy, woodsy evergreeen flavor, with some but modest sugar. If you happen to have Zirbenz Stone Pine liqueur, I'd use that, but less since it is stronger in flavor intensity. Lacking that, probably a heavy-juniper gin would be about as close as I can think of using common ingredients. Adjust the sugar as needed.

Hmm.. for Mirto, probably 2 parts Banyuls (or other red Vin Doux Naturale) and 1 part London Dry gin.

Thanks to both of you for the helpful suggestions. I don't have Zirbenz (though I'm a fan), but I do have a (white) vin doux naturale, so I may mix it, some red berry syrup, and London Dry to approximate the Mirto, or I may make a winter spiced syrup and mix that with gin instead. Thanks again.

Had no Rye. Tried with Bourbon. Very Nice and interesting. I understand why Rye is called in the mix.

Kind of boulevardier,  but spicier.

Will try soon with Rye.

4 stars.
