Trident
Stir, strain, straight up, cocktail glass, garnish.
Created for Fee Brother's peach bitters. Used 2 dashes. An updated version by Hess splits between 1 dash peach and 1 dash orange bitters.
- What a cool flavor combo... comes together to create chocolate cherry note
- 2 dashes of Orange bitters
- Thin. Agree with "not terribly harmonious." Used Linie and Lustau Dry Oloroso w/Fee Bros. Peach Bitters.
- negroni like - yum
- Good, but not terribly harmonious. Used peach liqueur instead of bitters. Need to retry with proper ingredients
- Opera Comique — Aquavit, Sweet vermouth, Cynar, Herbal liqueur, Orange bitters, Orange peel
- Fault Line — Aquavit, Aromatized wine, Cynar, Carrot Eau-de-vie, Orange peel
This link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nO5pAEku0wI uses Linie, Lustau's Amontillado and Cynar - dry sherry covers a really wide range of flavors! Thanks, Zachary
2 dashes of Orange Bitters would help. Video description suggests it.
The video above is an updated, more recent post. The original recipe video (I ripped the videos from Small Screen Network before they shut down) uses Dry Sack Medium Sherry (a blend of Amontillado, Oloroso and Pedro Ximenez) and Fee Brother's Peach Bitters. So it's quite a bit less dry than a version using just Amontillado and The Bitter Truth Peach Bitters (which are much more bitter than the Fee's). The Trident is a drink I really gravitated to when it came out, maybe as much for the drink itself as it encouraged me to explore my own Negroni variants. I personally like using Krogstad Aquavit (it's a cleaner, crisper flavor than the oloroso cask barrel aged Linie) and a 50/50 split of Amontillado and East India Sherry.
Very nice, 4+ star, not dry, not sweet, with good depth of flavor. Curated to classify as authentic recipe. History note added about Hess' later change (not original recipe) to split bitters between peach and orange. Original video by Hess shows Linie as the Aquavit so a note has been added for that. Linie works perfectly here.
