  • Went with the CioCiaro sub for Amer Picon - worked. Compared applejack to Calvados - Calvados wins.

This sure looks good, even if it wasn't named after me =) But where does one find Amer Picon?

mahastew commented on 11/04/2011:

Hi Rob,

Amer Picon is not currently imported into the States and is therefore tough to find. Two good substitutes are Torani Amer and CioCiaro.

Dan commented on 11/04/2011:

Happy Day! Bittermen's Amere Nouvelle is now being distributed. I haven't seen it yet in the Boston area, but DrinkUpNY has it for NYC and mail order (into those states that can). Also, if you click the Amer Picon link in the recipe, you'll find similar information to these comments.

Hi,

A good substitute for Amer Picon is Bigallet's China-China, which I believe is exported to the U.S.

Rgds,

Used Laird's and New Liberty's "Liberty Belle American Picon", tasty. Would maybe add the tiniest splash of syrup next time, which Goldenmoon's Amer Picon attempt also needs in most drinks

  • Cloying is the correct word.
  • The Benedictine is a bit overpowering and contributes to a cloying sweetness. Working on ways to lighten or dry the cocktail. Perhaps a rinse or scant 1/4 oz of Fernet

I can't tell if I agree with the "cloying" reviews or if I love it. I did closer to 1 and 3/4 rye. Def. interesting and would make again. But If I made a change I can't tell what it would be.

  • A tasty summery drink that I would make again. I didn't have the lemon bitters but it was good with Peychaud's.

  • This is one of the most interesting cocktails I've made in a long time. Sadly, it's more interesting than good.

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>

drinkingandthinking commented on 12/18/2018:

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!
