  • Cynar initially seems overstated @ half the amount specified
  • Boring. A lot of alcohol, but no pizzaz or specialness. Tossed, and subbed a 1794 for tonight.

Zachary Pearson commented on 2/03/2012:

Walter,

I'm wondering if you found this at Difford's Guide - they call for 1 shot each (= 1.5 oz) of Cognac and Tawny Port, 1 shot of simple (I think this is probably wrong and should be 1 dash simple), and 1/4 shot (= 1/3 oz) Maraschino, with 7 mint leaves. Please let me know and I'll correct it.

Thanks,

Zachary

Curated to change ingredients as at updated Diffard's link and to paraphrase instructions. Thanks @lumnaya

A Roman Holiday in Kentucky

1 3⁄4 oz Bourbon, Elijah Craig
1⁄2 oz Herbal liqueur, Yellow Chartreuse
1⁄4 oz Sambuca
1⁄4 oz Campari
Instructions

Stir and strain into a chilled coupe glass. Garnish with 3 coffee beans.

Notes

Definitley not for a novice, big herbacious flavors highlighted by licorice and vanilla with a slightly bitter dry finish. Carefully measure the Sambuca, too much will overpower all the other flavors.

  • Similar to the "Depth Bomb" cocktail in the Savoy Cocktail Book, The Depth Bomb calls for 4 dashes grenadine and 1 dash lemon juice instead of the equal parts used here.
