  • good summer drink, no simple syrup — ★★★★★
  • Easy-drinking. A step up from the lowly screwdriver.

Dan commented on 9/27/2014:

Craig E notes that the recipe contains no lime, so perhaps a lemon (or orange?) shell would work, unless it is too big for the glass.

Indeed, that's what the recipe (as it appears in Grog Log and Total Tiki) calls for: spent orange and lemon shells.

  • 5/22/23: 1.5 oz Cocchi, 1.5 oz Dry Sack, 2 dashes Angostura, lemon peel. Just okay. Don't think I'll make this one again. I'd rather have either a glass of vermouth or a traditional spirit and vermouth cocktail.
  • Nice option for something low in alcohol.
  • Could sub for white wine.
  • Made with manzanilla and Punt e Mes. Not bad, but not a great showcase for either ingredient. Bitters on the nose, Punt on the sip, sherry dryness on the swallow. Would probably work better with an amontillado and a less domi

I had an orange to juice after stealing all the peel for garnishes, so I tried this... I really like this drink. It reminds me of a Hemingway Daiquiri, but richer and more interesting yet still light and refreshing Thanks.

Thanks so much, Christina! I consider the Hemingway Daiquiri (Papa Doble) one of the very best drinks ever devised, so the comparison means a great deal to me.

Enjoyed this one very much. Used No. 209 Gin, subbed Inferno Bitter for Campari, and used blood orange juice because it's what was on hand. The choice of the latter made for a very pretty cocktail. 

An excellent cocktail !! Smooth, gentle, wonderful blending of flavors. I'm glad I found it and gave it a try.

Curated slightly - changed Basil, Thai to Thai Basil as an ingredient. Due to how things that need articles are generated, "Thai" was on my list of things, which is a bit difficult.

Didn't have Zacapa 23 on hand so substituted Zaya Grand Riserva 12yr instead. Unique cocktail but may be a little too rich for my taste. I'll try it with Barbancourt 15yr and up it to 1 1/4, minus the simple syrup and see how that works.

...wife's comments: "Interesting..."

no exotic rum on hand, had to make do with Bacardi 8 años...actually went a little heavy on the rum, could do with a bit less lime. Like the combination of Green Chartreuse and Thai Basil, lots of interesting herbal notes (and the anise-like notes of both complemented each other). Used a ginger simple syrup I'd made, nice addition. Also, garnishing with a basil leaf (actually, a small stalk with a pair of leaves) is a nice touch.
