Nice flavor but a bit too sweet. Maybe 2 to 1 would be a little better.

  • Made with passion fruit puree syrup. The cinnamon pinch is essential and makes this work so well.
  • Rum is completely overpowering. Pretty good if you double all the other ingredients but probably not worth it at that point.
  • Good stuff. — ★★★★
  • A little time-consuming (as, I suppose, tiki drinks are wont to be). But really good: an easy drinker with loads of character and a great deal more kick than's apparent in either nose or taste. *Substituted orchid syrup fo

Dan commented on 10/26/2011:

A bit sweeter than I prefer. I added 1/2 oz dry vermouth (and I used Punt e Mes). I think I'd try it with just the dry vermouth next time, or scale back the sweet quantities.

I had my bartender make this for me tonight since I don't have the vermouth (but will soon, since it is absolutely delicious!)- I enjoyed this quite a bit and will make it again. I think it might also be good with a bit less CioCiaro so that the vermouth has more of a presence.

I just mixed a version with Amer Picon in place of the CioCiaro and it is divine. Not too sweet in the least. 5/5.

Um, I'm jealous :) I have been thinking about ordering the Bittermens Amere Nouvelle... Wonder how similar they are?

Hmm, dunno! Would like to hear about it if you find out.

I don't think they're similar - Amer Picon is heavy and caramelly, like Ramazzotti or other dark amaro. The Amer Nouvelle (IIRC) is a lighter spirit designed to show off the orange and gentian in a more neutral base. I'm getting them when they come to Texas, and will taste them side by side.

Thanks,

Zachary

I had my bartender make this for me since I don't have the rum. It came out on the sweet side. Maybe a different rum or less of the other ingredients next time

Dan commented on 11/07/2011:

Yes, just by looking that 's going to be pretty darn sweet. Personally, I can tolerate a sweet drink if there is enough spirit flavor and/or bitter. I have trouble with sweet and herbal drinks, but others seem to like them. Not everyone likes every drink, even if it's created by Phil Ward. ;)

Rhett commented on 8/23/2013:

3/4oz of Carpano is definitely too much sweetness for me. I prefer this at 1/2oz, though when we make it at my bar we actually use Punt e Mes, which has some bitterness to balance. We also often swap the Peychaud's for a few drops of Fee Bro's Whiskey Barrel Aged Bitters, which can really dry out drinks (though also easily overpower them). Also, a lot of rums have a lot of natural sweetness so pick one you think will work. Not that this isn't already a great idea/cocktail, but there is no "right" recipe, just the one you like. Here's how I like it:
2oz dark rum (ex. Flor de Cana 5-Year Old)
1/2oz Punt e Mes
1/4oz yellow Chartreuse
1/4oz Benedictine
few drops of aromatic bitters for dryness if needed

I have not had Hum, but from what I can find on the web, it is not bitter. If that is indeed the case, then I wouldn't call it an amaro, but rather a regular liqueur. It's odd that they call it both a spirit (in the name) and a liqueur (on the label).
