Had anyone else tried Golden Moon kummel, made in the US? They're isn't much kummel flavor on the cocktail so I'm wondering if my kummel is weaker treating than the traditional ones.
We made the data back to back with the Azalea Margarita. I used Pomegranate Molasses for the Azalea. I forgot to clean the measure before I started making the Dante so we ended up with a "rinse" of pomegranate molasses in the Dante. The result more in depth flavor and a "suspended" molasses cloud in the Dante. Very cool.
Very delicate, a little buttery flavour with a finish in herb and lime tones. It is better to go for a better tequila here, such as the one suggested in the recipe, because the spicy basic Mexican vodka will dominate the whole cocktail.
Perfect cocktail. I used "Lehment Rostocker Doppelkümmel", a ideal product for cocktails. Nice caraway taste but not overwhelming and not too sweet, So the cocktail was perfectly balanced.
I to subbed agave for sugar syrup and Danish Akvavit for Kümmel. This is a good cocktail, not great, good. I like the Chartreuese and Akvavit with the tequila combo, the balance seems right. (4 of 8 of “Her Maj’s” Difford cocktails for the Jubilee. Don't think I will make it to the end today)
We loved this. Deliciously tangy and right up my tequila / chartreuse street. I subbed agave syrup, as usual, and Goldschlaeger for Kuemmel this time, but I will definitely order a bottle of Kuemmel to try out the original.
As I had just purchased some Kummel (Mentzandorf) I was drawn to this 5+ star cocktail only to realise I'd used the last of my Blanco Tequila making a Blood Orange Tequila (highly recommended), so what to use as an alternative. Mezcal seemed obvious but I had also recently purchased a couple of bottles of Raicilla and decided to experiment with that. I chose La Venenosa Sierra Volcanes de Jalisco- the inferno link seemed fated. Wow, just wow! I will have to go back to the original, but WOW!
I didn't have Raicilla to hand so tried your suggestion of mezcal. Delicious! so much so that I've added a Mezcal Dante page. Please see the link under "Vaiaratons" above. Many thanks, Matthew.

One of the finest cocktails in the world. Herbal, powerful, complex, intense. I added a further 10m of Mescal. But then I would.
Found this while searching for Cocktails that I could probably do with Bergamot Juice instead of Lime juice, added some Barspoon of Supasawa to adjust the actual sourness, also added a Dash of Saline Solution, worked out really well, will do again with regular lime...Last Word Fans need to try this!
Very good, at first ever sip I was unsure and the experience won me over. (Like the first moments of swimming in a river, a shock and then a wonderful experience). The second time around I knew what to expect, dare I say it that the Kümmel makes this drink seem healthy.
A Caraway Margarita. I substituted Aquavit for the Kummel and reduced the simple syrup. It's good but I was hoping for a drink that was less of a margarita.
