Nice, somewhat sweet blend of Japanese whiskey, mild herbal notes of Damiana along with plentiful ginger. Overall sweet character is balanced somewhat by the lemon juice.

Shawn C commented on 2/04/2023:

I haven't tried the posted volumes/proportions so I am not posting a rating. It is a large volume for my standard coup glasses, 5 oz before ice dilution. More problematic is that the recipe is very sweet with 1 oz of syrup along with other sweet components. There are a lot of big competing flavors here as well.

I lacked lavender syrup, so I used 1/4 oz R&W Creme de Violette as a sub, along with 1/4 oz Orgeat. Despite cutting the syrupy components in half, this was still much too sweet for my tastes. The overall flavors were pleasant, although intense. I am wondering what the result would be skipping the syrups altogether? The orgeat even in small amounts is assertive and seems to overwhelm other aspects. The Lucano/Damiana/Cocchi Americano flavor trio seems promising in its own right, which is what attracted me to this recipe in the first place.


Bison Rut

1⁄2 oz Ancho Reyes chile liqueur
1⁄2 oz Passion fruit liqueur (Chinola passion fruit liqueur)
Instructions

Stir with ice, strain into Nick & Nora glass.

Notes

A very simple cocktail that doesn't require any adornment. This was a natural combination: passion fruit liqueur's distinctive flavor, some sweetness with mellow ancho flavor and spicy heat, plus the vanilla of the bison grass vodka.

History

I had an experience some years ago tent camping with small children, when a small bison herd wandered into our camp at daybreak during rut. I grew up with cattle, so keeping the bison from the kids' tent, while not riling the agitated/amorous bulls was a reasonable challenge/adventure. (Spoiler/hint: guide the curious females where you want them to go, stay well clear of the bulls.) Fortunately the more aggressive mature bulls were busy engaging one another while I conducted the bulk of the herd around the campsite.

The butler replies, "No I don't, but I'll try to mix it for you."

Really excellent. Combination of layers of earthy sweetness. Made with piloncillo and it adds a lot, probably would not be nearly the same with demerera.
