Commodore No. 2
Lemon juice balances this bourbon and crème de cacco-based red-coloured cocktail that is perhaps best served as an after-dinner cocktail

Ha - after saying I'd done this from the standard recipe, I spotted the recipe wants white c de c!
Giffard's bottles are great value, but I'm not buying both, am I!?

I don't like to sweat the small stuff but in your history of this cocktail I suspect that you meant to say "stipulates", not "stimulates". btw I now have one of your jiggers and what an excellent little thing it is...bravo.

Hi Simon, thanks for spotting our typo...now fixed! Happy to hear you're enjoying the Easy Jigger 😊

An absolutely delectable dessert drink with woody, intense Bourbon, fruity sweetness of grenadine, nice, dessert notes of the Cacao and the lemon to provide acidity and balance. But the serve was a disaster as my drink overflowed over the crushed ice, resulting in at least a third of the drink being wasted. What a crying shame!

Is this meant to be served up in a coupe as pictured or over crushed ice as described?

It should be served over crushed ice in a coupe. I'll re-shoot to replace pic ASAP. Many thanks for bringing to my attention.

A bit all over the map. Balanced in that each sip seems to swing between two poles. We found this only OK.

Really delicious cocktail. I liked the combination of bourbon with grenadine. Cacao liqueur also suits well
The brown cacao brings some viscosity, and its sweetness balances with the lemon's sour.
The grenadine makes a pretty pink; the low dose of bourbon provides interest without overpowering.
First brown cacao cocktail, and it's a winner!
