  • Quite bitter finish, but not unpleasantly so. A Negroni that avoids the syrupyness of the classic. I added a couple of drops of saline. — ★★★★

I noticed one user found the Cornwall Negroni to be "quite bitter," so I decided to minimize the bitterness as best I could. To do this, I used Beefeater 24 for the gin, and Dolin Rouge for the 2nd vermouth. I also used one dash of Regans' Orange Bitters and one dash of Angostura Orange Bitters. The resultant cocktail was only mildly bitter, but pleasantly so. I rated this revised Cornwall Negroni at 4.0. For those who enjoy Negroni-style drink, I think they will find this one to be a delightful cocktail, and one they will come back to often.

3⁄4 oz Grapefruit juice
2 ds Peychaud's Bitters

Notes

Based on an original from Hungry Mother; Gran Gala substituted for Gran Mariener was too sweet. Revised: interesting balance between juniper and bitter notes. Lots of fruit flavor. Very good.

this turned out to be pretty good, at first it was incredibly savoury but a balancing sweetness came out with more dilution (???). would try it again

This was good, but seemed not quite balanced. It started out almost salty on the palate. I added a little lime and a bit of club and liked that a little better. Also, I made this with Bombay Sapphire East and I wonder if I should have chosen a gin with a different flavor profile. Not sure the peppery-lemongrass worked in this.

  • Subbed Select in for Campari.
  • Really tasty! A spirit-forward cocktail with a nice fruity disposition. Make sure not to overdo the peach bitters, as an extra dash can easily overwhelm the drink. — ★★★★

Subbed Select for Campari, included a maraschino cherry for garnish. Pleasantly bitter, with the apple and peach notes balanced by the bitter Ramazzotti. I thought it got tastier as it got warmer.

Notes

Created by bar manager Tom Schlesinger-Guidelli, this cocktail was mentioned in our First Taste of Craigie On Main in Cambridge, Massachusetts as having a “spectrum of refreshing flavors. That might account for why it is now the #1 favorite of customers there. It's a great drink for those who think they don't like Scotch. The liquor adds a subtle smokiness, but doesn'€™t overpower. You can substitute your choice of Scotch and use regular simple syrup for the Demerara, but the other brands are pretty much required to get the desired effect.

  • Might try again with 1-3/4 oz Scotch and 1/2 oz St Germain.
  • Nice balance; made with JWB. Was hoping to taste more of the Clear Creek, which I've been looking for ways to use.

  • Excellent use of dry sherry. I used fino, which doesn't always play well with other ingredients. Can be a bit briny. But here it works really nicely with both the sweetness in the bourbon and the bitterness in the Ramazzotti. 4.5 if I could.
  • I agree with other user - very clean, citrusy, almost metallic despite having bourbon. Don't skimp on the essential lemon oils! Delightful!
  • Hard to describe taste: I want to say "clean," almost like the water I'd drink from the garden hose as a kid. Metal, citrusy, and bitter on the edges, but easy drinking. — ★★★★

Added attribution and slightly reformatted to our style guidelines. Thank you alphanumeric. I need to revisit this Manhattan-esque again!

AmyJ commented on 6/11/2014:

Enjoyed a super tasty variation with Averna instead of Ramazotti and 1/4oz Orancio vermouth instead of triple sec (alt ways to get hint of orange and balance sweetness). Really nice

Made this tonight with Amaro Montenegro and it was delightful.

History

Several variations exist in the reference, getting progressively more complicated (including eventually lemon, mirto, and absinthe). The recipe shown here is relatively simple and still very good. Correct title of a revised version of this cocktail is Second Bounce because it was the second attempt at making it. Therefore I've renamed previously untitled cocktail First Bounce. Was originally posted incorrectly as Second Boz

Watery, not much on the palate except a muted and confused bitterness.
