More than 5,000 cocktails on this site and 3,000 in the book so deciding what to leave out is always challenging and, to be honest, I'm sometimes guilty of overlooking great cocktails. The next book is going to have to be a lot thicker! Many thanks for supporting us by buying a book.

Fairly new to cocktails but I thought this was lovely with Flor de Cana 12 year. For 'spoon' I assumed a teaspoon, and I omitted the garnish. If you're a fan of smokey, silky chardonnays then this is worth a try.

I had some Chardonnay that was a bit on the sour side, and wanting to salvage it landed on Difford’s guide. Barely thought this cocktail was worth trying bc it was so weird, but they combine so well, the vinegar adding a tartness that’s smoothed by the chardonnay and together make the rum just barely detectable. I thought it would taste like weird cooking Shery but it’s incredibly drinkable. The combo reminds me oddly of Japanese Ume-Shu (plum liquor). Fun oddball drink.
