Curated this. Rewrote this - it originally had more booze than dairy (2 oz brandy to 1.5 oz milk). I found a recipe from a Brennan's cookbook, and updated the drink to reflect what is probably a more traditional version of things. Thanks,  Zachary

Good. Benefits from more dilution than I would have guessed, given the relatively low ABV.

Dan commented on 4/12/2012:

Wow, that sounds like a nice cocktail. I finally finished my bottle of Bianco. I wonder if Bonal Gentiane-Quina could be substituted? I love JM Blanc. I need to find another bottle.

Zachary Pearson commented on 4/12/2012:

Dan,

Bonal isn't substitutable for any vermouth - it's more like Cocchi Americano + Oloroso sherry.

Thanks,

Zach

bza commented on 4/12/2012:

Hmm, that might be on the sweeter side, but I think as a separate drink it could work. Or maybe half bonal/half dry vermouth? Bianco is great for a handful of drinks (especially Eyeore's Requiem) but not as versatile as regular sweet/dry vermouths.

They have JM Blanc at liquor world in Porter. It's the best white rhum agricole for cocktails, I think, as it's assertive but not INSANE like some of the others I've had, like the Duquesne bottle I have that is awesome but completely overpowers any other ingredients.

Dan commented on 12/21/2012:

Still no bianco, so I made this with dry vermout h. Very nice and not, to my taste, too dry. I'm not sure about the persimmon, but it's a fruity drink with no strong fruit ingredient.

bza commented on 12/22/2012:

This is one of the few drinks I've made up that I go back to on a regular basis - basically whenever I have a bottle of bianco open. I'll have to try it with dry vermouth - actually, dry vermouth and rhum agricole makes a lot of sense to me, although that's a dry starting point for any cocktail.

  • Used Pedro Ximenez sherry. Worked.
  • I Split the base with Appleton Reserve and El Dorado 3yr. Excellent, but extremely rich. Great candidate for experimenting with rums. I want to try 1/2 oz of the base of something high proof like wray or rum fire.
  • also listed a 2:1:1 ratio & differing rums (unaged rhum agricole)
  • The sherry makes this drink. It's well-balanced and the campari mellows out in very nice ways.

Shawn C commented on 4/29/2024:

I was expecting a really bitter kick with this much Malort, but the drink proved to have well-balanced bitterness with a very long wormwood finish. The gentle malt, subtle cherry, and broader grape/gentian of the Bonal create a fine flavor body to contrast with the ensuing finish. It is a solid 4+ on flavor alone, but doing that with this much Malort earns style points, so I am giving it a 5.
