  • This is one of the most interesting cocktails I've made in a long time. Sadly, it's more interesting than good.

Remarkably similar in taste to "Blood & Sand." I was surprised given Blood & Sand has scotch as its base liquor, while Blood and Famine uses Bushmill's Irish whiskey for its base liquor (I chose Black Bush because of its strong, sturdy body notes). I also used Dolin Rouge for Blood and Sands' sweet vermouth. Black Bush manages to make its presence known over the other ingredients, that are also in Blood & Sand, which explains why both taste somewhat similar. The Blood & Sand is somewhat sweeter, as I used Dewar's scotch (a pleasant, light in body, blended scotch). In short, if you like one, you'll like the other. I rated Blood & Famine at 4.0.</p>

Nice and sweet, but not too sweet. I like it better than blood and sand! I used Tullamore Dew, Chinato vermouth and fresh squeezed orange - lovely!

I hate to be the guy who says "This tastes just like x!!", but this tastes just like peanut butter and jelly. Very uncanny.

I thought that the 3 stars couldn't be right, then I mixed this up and I'm sorry but it was vile. I added 1/2 oz. Cointreau which made it a 2 star, but not worth repeating. Again, sorry, but this just ain't worth drinking.

  • Used Gran Classico instead of Campari. Used Bitter Truth Areomatic for the bitters. Used Jim Beam black for the bourbon. Rate 4

I was optimistic, but it came out too bitter for me, which is saying a lot, because I like Eeyore's Requiem, among others. So, I added 1/4 oz rich syrup, and then it was sweeter, but still too bitter. I give it 3/5.

Delicious. Exactly my preferred level of bitterness.

Roro commented on 11/08/2013:

How about substituting Gran Classico for the Campari?

AmyJ commented on 1/25/2014:

I found that a 'Negroni' style combo 1:1:1 of Campari, bourbon (Bulleit) and Averna made a very appealing beverage. Would post, but too similar to others I think.

Dan commented on 3/22/2015:

Rather nice, if a touch sweet. I think I might try rye (aromatically drier than bourbon), reducing the 1/2 oz parts to maybe 1/3 oz, an adding 1/3 oz dry vermouth or sherry.

Elisabeth

1 oz Gin
2 t Swedish Punsch
1 bsp Fernet Branca

Instructions

Stir with ice and strain. Twist the lemon peel and drop it in.

Notes

Still a bit rough around the edges, but it's quite nice. Might sub the Fernet for another bitter ingredient.

  • Doubled all ingredients. Okay. Grew on me. I wonder if rye instead of gin (in the Toronto direction) might work.
