Not sure I get the swizzle part. What would you sub for these unobtainium-based bitters?

Zachary Pearson commented on 12/14/2011:

Dan,

Whisking the hot milk into the dry shaken mixture is meant to mimic a swizzle - it also ensures that you don't make scrambled eggs ;)

I would substitute Angostura for the Swizzle bitters, but you could always email Adam Elmegirab ;)

Thanks,

Zachary

  • I like Dan's suggestions and would try them next time. I didn't think the sweetness was overpowering but the rye has does struggle to stand up to the Becherovka.
  • Used Fee Bros. bitters and a scant 1/2 syrup. Sweet and orangey, with an interesting finish.
  • Nice. Strong Cinnamon from the Becherovka. Used 1.5 oz rye, 1/4 oz simple, and added 2 dashes Regans'. — ★★★

Dan commented on 12/13/2011:

A nice drink, although I fiddled with it a bit. I used only 1/4 oz simple, but then I tend to like my drinks without detectable sweetness. I upped the rye to 1 1/2 oz to get it to stand up to the Becherovka. I added 2 dashes of Regans' orange bitters, which reinforces the orange notes from the twist and adds significant bitterness (since Becherovka is so mild). I really enjoyed this drink, especially since it highlights an unusual ingredient that is pretty widely available.

AmyJ commented on 2/22/2013:

Nice. Good call re Regan's bitters . Used Rittenhouse Rye, which stands up well. Thanks!

Bevx commented on 2/22/2013:

Finally tried this one. Yup, delicious...Made it "Dan's way," except I split the difference on the syrup at around 1/3 oz. Used the new Dickel Rye, which worked great... First drink I've tried using a "tiny" amount of Fernet where the flavors mingled so perfectly that if I didn't <em>know</em> it was there, I might not have guessed it.

2 oz Light rum, Havana Club 3

  • I made with Ilegal Joven - not as smokey as some of my other preferred mezcals. I had some coffee infused Antica Formula - so used that. I also stirred with one large cube instead of shaking. It's boozy...but good.

The Oban has always smelled like buttered fruitcake to me, and this was a way to create a flavor profile like the bitters, which smell like rum, plums, and clove.

  • 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.

DrunkLab commented on 9/27/2014:

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