I made the original 1929 recipe with just the spirits and no citrus or simple syrup. It was still really good. The flavors blend together really well, I didn't expect the orange and juniper to play as nicely with each other as they did. It's a bit of a kick without the lemon and simple to tone it down, only the dilution from the ice is keeping it from being just a straight up 80 proof chilled drink!

Made with Luxardo Triplum, was mediocre. Maybe better with Cointreau, but there’s a thousand other similar sours out there to try so I’ll probably never get around to it.

Loved it, but can't see the benefit of the salt. Is it me?

Check it before shaking. Half of us liked the version without syrup.

Combier, Bacardi Carta Blanca, and Tanqueray Export strength sing superb together! And I might reduce the rich syrup by half next time as John's onto something here. Five stars and a heart.

Very good cocktail. Found the ingredients worked well together. Did find it a bit sweet for our tastes, so next time we will omit the sugar syrup. Increasing the lemon juice would ruin the balance of the other flavours.

Did you use the Rich simple or regular simple?

John Hinojos Premium Member 3y

rich simple. If I remembered correctly, we even shorted that amount. Felt the Cointreau would be sweet enough. We tend to like our cocktails more on the sour/dry side, and usually adjust the sugar syrup down.
