  • I tried Vida Mezcal and Jamaican white rum — ★★★★
  • Good for batching
  • A Christmas Margarita. This cocktail is giant as written and nearly fills a lowball glass! Scale everything back to ½oz instead of ¾ and use a scant tsp of Amaretto for a more reasonable sized drink.
  • I used: Cimarron Blanco Cana Brava Bigallet China China Montenegro Amaro Giffard Orgeat
  • Made with curaçao. — ★★★★★
  • Interesting spice, slight bitter aftertaste (good), rather like a more interesting Margarita. Good balance of orange and almond. 3/2010: Alice & Stefan — ★★★★★

What a delicious drink! The creator should win a prize or something. (Full disclosure: I'm the creator. The name, however, is Dan's.)

sensational! Fantastic hints of spice and orange, fresh lime juice definitely help to balance the sweet. Almost like having the holidays in a glass...

Works nicely with Clement Creole Shrub for the orange liqueur.
