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.

drinkingandthinking commented on 10/26/2018:

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.

mahastew commented on 2/09/2012:

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.

multiVCA commented on 2/13/2012:

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.

1 bsp Fernet Branca

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

Zachary Pearson commented on 11/19/2011:

Mark,

I moderated this very slightly in three places: First, to move the instructions for making the cinnamon syrup into the Notes section - does this get heated, or does everything combine overnight? Second, I tweaked Angostura Bitters, Angostura to Bitters, Angostura, and finally, changed the cocktail to an Original Creation.

Can you clarify how the cinnamon syrup is made?

Thanks, Zachary

Dan commented on 11/19/2011:

Curated to change the Solerno liqueur to be a brand of Orange liqueur, rather than Blood orange juice.

  • Nicely balanced. Light-tasting, but not without backbone. A little tart, a little sweet, some funk from the arrack. And pink!
  • I did the bitters atop the egg white. Creamy and then really funky.

It may not be for everyone, but the Maraschino and Batavia Arrack really worked for me, two unusual flavors working in concert - 4 stars
