<br />Thamyris is one of those lovely drinks that is easy to love and yet you don't know why. There is a multiplicity of flavors that come through, without clashing. For this libation I would recommend a gin that is soft, easy on the juniper. Martin Miller's and Knickerbocker Barrel Gin come to mind. Tanqueray Ten should do well, also because it emphasizes floral and citris flavors; but not Tanqueray, which is heavy on juniper.

To make this cocktail I used Knickerbocker Barrerl Gin and King's Ginger Liqueur, plus the other named ingredients. Thamyris is a great before or after dinner drink--a somewhat heavy in flavor drink, but with the right gin, it will go down like water--only more satisfying. I rated it 4.0.

  • Great ingredient list but feel like the balance is off. Probably a bit too sweet, worth trying 1/4oz simple.

Youngstown Tube

1 1⁄2 oz Gin
1⁄2 oz Herbal liqueur, Yellow Chartreuse
1⁄2 oz Apricot liqueur
3⁄4 oz Lime juice
1⁄4 oz Agave syrup
1⁄4 oz Fernet Branca
Instructions

Rinse coupe with Fernet and discard excess. Shake/strain remaining ingredients.

Notes

It was sweet enough for me without the agave nectar. I also felt like the apricot took over; I'll try less apricot and more chartreuse next time.

  • 4.5. Nothing wrong with the Ango, but play with the bitters anyway? Abbotts? Peychaud's (because of the Sazerac aspect)?

<br />Which of the many Fee Bros bitters?
How much Strega in place of the Drambuie?

There's no telling - this drink is a riff on the cited Autumn Leaves in the way that a Gimlet is a riff on a Martini. Taking a guess, either the regular, the Barrel Aged or something fruity like cherry. Thanks,  Zachary

Dan commented on 1/12/2012:

This sounds really good. I like the idea of the massive blast of molasses from the Cruzan Blackstrap with the menthol of the Fernet Branca. I definitely want to try this soon, perhaps starting with a scant portion of honey.

This sounds interesting - rum-lime-Fernet makes me think of the rum-lime-Chartreuse combination that I love so much. I'm trying to think about the Luxardo in there - how does it work other than the sweetness?
