Yes, in Cocktail Finder, you can search for recipes by style (e.g., Long drinks or Highballs), Time of Day (e.g. aperitivo), and Occasion or Season (e.g. Spring or Halloween).

Very interesting combo - didn’t quite come together for me, but could be down to choice of ingredients? I used Perro e San Juan, Glamorganie, lustau PX, Oldesloer kümmel (only one Ive been able to get). No liquorice bitters so a small dash of fernet branca. I added a dash of cognac which seemed to make things more harmonious. Interested to hear others’ thoughts…

Still can't find any kümmel in Seattle.

I made the 1929 equal parts Kümmel Ye Faithful drink. It's a simple straight swig of creamy cumin. It needs something additional for depth. A touch of orange? Gonna play with it again sometime.

Simon, what was the inspiration for this? I feel like you really have to be in tune with these ingredients to come up with this. It’s way more elegant and inviting than most of these ingredients show themselves to be. Well done, sir!

I've no idea! Sometimes I make a cocktail with a couple of ingredients and that can lead me to switch some of the other ingredients to make a new, completely different cocktail. Other times I start from scratch. Now nearly a year on, I can't remember what lead to the Kummel Ye Faithful.
Is there a way to search in the Cocktail Finder for a mood or setting (e.g. Christmas night, Backyard Summer Quencher, Let's Get This Party Started, etc)?
