Is the ginger beer dry shaken with the rest of the ingredients, or is it a float? Is there a shake with ice after the dry shake or is it just dry shaken, then over ice?

  • Solid with a nice complexity and bitterness but not deeply memorable or remarkable.
  • Pretty good, though the flavors didn't quite come together for me. Might be because I used ri(1) instead of Rittenhouse.

Dan commented on 12/20/2012:

Very good. Maybe a touch sweet for my taste. I was tempted to try a touch of Lactart in it. Do you really mean to serve this in a highball? The glass will be about 2/3 empty. (Cocktail moderated slightly for style.)

Curated slightly - changed Sweet Vermouth to homemade (can you give us an idea of what base you start with and how you infuse it?), corrected spelling of Jasmine liqueur - is this Fruit Lab's Theia?

Ted K commented on 1/10/2012:

The vermouth is a infusion of 12oz Lillet Rouge 12 oz of Aperol 4oz Averna steeped with the zest of 4 oranges and one grapfruit for 48 hours. It is the Theia

  • Well-balanced. Maybe slightly too sweet. The paprika really makes it. Don’t stint there or with the sage. — ★★★★
  • Surprisingly good, but still not something I want to have a whole drink of.
  • Try Laphroig instead of paprika?

queenshaboo commented on 5/15/2017:

Really liked this despite using a leaf too much sage. Too chicken to use that much paprika IN the drink so lightly garnished with a pinch instead, pretty happy with this one. Definitely one to make for any health nut friends you might have.

By El Dorado Dark do you mean ED 5? I also think that you mean 1/2 oz espresso syrup (how do you make that?) and maybe 2 dashes of Peychaud's.
