  • Subbed Fee's Grapefruit Bitters. Phenomenal. And phenomenally balanced (must not however forget lemon twist: crucial).

  • Friends like it
  • 5/18/19: Made a riff with WT 101, Lairds BIB, Courvoisier VS, S&C, 1 tsp 2:1 turbinado, 2 dashes Ango, lemon peel. Would like to try peach brandy in place of the apple brandy.
  • Fine, but less than the sum of its parts. Would rate it a 3 if it used fewer ingredients.
  • Want to try!
  • Autumn Cocktails
  • Boozy and subtle. ETA: subbed a nice pisco for cognac and liked it that way too. Toasted marshmallows.
  • Really delicious.
  • Complex and interesting, a good drink for a whiskey / brown spirits lover. Bitters add nice depth. Used agave in lieu of Demerara — ★★★★
  • Go strong on the bitters, esp chocolate.

I was pretty sure I'd like this one, but I also served it to someone whose idea of a cocktail requires soda (granted, he needed a strong drink). It really melded beautifully--the spiciness of the rye and sweet fruitiness of the calvados come to the forefront, made richer by the chocolate bitters.

rwilde commented on 9/29/2011:

We really liked this cocktail. We used Rye and Bourbon - Bulleit, Prunier VS Cognac, Clear Creek Pomme, Bitter Truth Mole Bitters for the original and thought it was just damn delightful.
Looking to do a punch version for possible fall menu consideration. Any thoughts or suggestions? Especially a beautiful garnish...would love to get our pastry chef involved.

Shawn C commented on 1/25/2025:

Curated to add Frederic Yarm's website 2008 description of the drink as a reference. Changed recipe to "authentic." Added lemon twist to ingredient list.

I didn't have Greylock Gin and wanted to boost the Boston Bittah's and dry vermouth to give this a more distinctive character, so I used Tanqueray (2), Carpano Dry (1/2), honey syrup (1/4), Boston Bittahs (2 dashes/20 total drops). I was quite happy with the result since the Bittahs' chamomile works complements the honey syrup and the Carpano dry has an herbal forward profile that blends well with the gin's juniper and the twist's lemon oil.

According to the Death&Co cocktail book this cocktail also calls for 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon bark syrup. The year of creation is set to 2011.

bkemp1984 commented on 6/02/2022:

This is a 5 star. I'm paring down my bar to about 15 bottles (not counting repeats like both Chartreuse or clear and aged rum) and mezcal didn't make the cut; I don't use it enough or love it. With this drink though, that's a sad thought. I did use regular syrup because I don't have cinnamon.

I used your recipe but altered it a bit and it turned out really good.  I didn't have grapefruit bitters but used rhubarb bitters instead and added grapefruit juice instead of lime juice. Really good. Thanks.

  • Made with R&W apricot, 1 oz lemon juice, and 3/4 oz Strega. Balance seemed pretty good. — ★★★★
  • Added more lemon juice per comment as using R&W, but dominated by Lemon and Strega.
  • Lots of interesting flavors, although Strega dominates. Might reduce Strega to 3/4oz to let other flavors though. — ★★★★

Thanks for the posting. My proportions: 1 oz. gin, 1/2 oz. all other ingredients except a few drops orange bitters and a touch of sweetener.

Moscow Mule

2 oz Vodka
1 oz Lime juice
6 oz Ginger beer
Instructions

Stir vodka, and lime over ice. Top with ginger beer.

Notes

With Jameson, it's a 3-Legged Mule. With honey vodka, it's a Honey Bear. And with vanilla vodka and mint it's a Vanilla Mule. Some people add a dash of Angostura bitters.

  • Amma liked it
  • Fizzy and refreshing. Would work well as a brunch cocktail. I might try it with less ginger ale next time--it overpowers the other flavors a bit.

sgls commented on 7/28/2020:

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.

Shawn C commented on 1/14/2023:

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.
