A. J. Rathbun in Ginger Fizz and the Violet Fizz has 2 oz gin, 1 oz Cherry Heering, and an indeterminate amount of orange juice. Unlikely to make much difference.

Oddly reminiscent of a Singapore Sling, despite using orange juice vs. pineapple juice, plus all of the other differences. About a 3.5. Helps to have excellent fresh Washington navel oranges on a tree out back, I suspect that much of the dislike folks express for orange juice cocktails arises from the source/quality of the juice. You can't get this flavor out of concentrate, packaged juice, or many of the oranges that make it to the store.

Nice drink but subbed St George's aged Dry Rye gin, 3/4 oz chartreuse and 1 dash bitters. Only had Fee Bros, fully agree a more floral bitters would be preferable. 

In response to a curation request about the volume of Chartreuse and bitters, I did some looking. The Bitter Truth link is dead, so I removed it. Googling Fletcher Christian cocktail returns two hits - KC and a Wordpress blog whose cache shows a drink called the Oude Fletcher which is similar, but has 1/2 ounce of BT Celery bitters. Without confirmation that the drink as written is wrong, I'm going to leave this alone. Thanks,  Zachary

Cached versions of BT show the full oz is called for.

Nice catch - thanks. Zachary

With respect to the 3 drops of Elixir Vegetal de la Grande Chartreuse: this is far more concentrated than Chartreuse so a few drops makes sense (subbing 3 drops of Chartreuse wouldn't, though)

Since the Repeal Day bitters are limited production and sold-ago sold out, perhaps we could update this to use a bitters that is available, at least as a sub? Also I created a Oat Whiskey ingredient, so I used that for the High West.

I have the repeal bitters, they are very Christmas-y. I'd say Angostura is definitely an acceptable substitute, though some of the spice will be lost - maybe muddle a clove first? I don't have the oat whiskey so I can't say, but I'm not sure what makes this a Manhattan since it doesn't have sweet vermouth. That said, the repeal bitters are SPECTACULAR in a Manhattan.

Curated quite a bit. So... this is Degroff's adaptation of the 19th century Adonis cocktail. As you can see, the adaptation is wildlyy different from the original. Degroff specifically calls for 1 oz Vya dry and 1/2 oz generic dry vermouth, and a flamed orange peel. His version is shaken, where the original is stirred. Updated notes to show original version, history, and provided a link to the Degroff book on Amazon to show the cocktail. 

Thanks,

Zachary

Any history on this cocktail or is it a lime instead of lemon juice version of the Royal Hawaiian?

The pineapple juice in my version is super prominent. I might tweak the proportions next time.

nonetheless tasty!

Delicious. Sub'd Punt e Mes + Martini & Rossi Bianco for Rosata. Might try with lemon next. The lime mates well with the spicy tequila, but the lemon would be nice with the vermouth and Cynar.

Fantastic. Cut the lime juice down to 3/4.

perfectly balanced- love the allspice dram and chartreuse combo. I used the low end maple syrup measure and it was plenty.

I had Meyer's, Smith and Cross, and regular old Bacardi on hand. I went with the Smith & Cross and I don't know if 1.5 oz of this rum was the best choice for this cocktail. Next time I'll try a more neutral, lower proofed rum or some of each.

Half Myers's and half Smith & Cross sounds like it would be good. I love (love, love) Smith & Cross, so I'd be happy with all Smith & Cross, but it sure would be resplendent with rum hogo!
