Damn It Jimmy
When made with Bacardi Carta Blanca (as it originally was) this delicate and so very slightly sweet cocktail has complex notes of blue cheese with faintly...

I'd say it was more of an 8 on the boozy scale. My partner and I debated whether it was touch on the sweeter side but decided the balance was just about right thanks to the fino and vermouth. Definitely a very pleasant pre-dinner sipper with a crisp clean finish. I'd like to try different sakes to see how that influences the outcome

Agreed. I've moved to an 8 on the boozy scale. Your joice of sake will influence the taste. A fun to experiment.

This is a wonderful cocktail...beautifully poised and subtle. We had only Havana Club Anejo 3 Anos but will get hold of some Bacardi to give it a whirl with that. Anyway, bravo!

It's even better with the Bacardi Carta Blanca. A tantalizingly elusive balance between sweet and dry.

I literally just signed up to promote this cocktail.
It may not be for everyone (apparently some strange people don’t like sherry, dry vermouth, or sake) but to my taste it may be the most perfect cocktail. THANK YOU for this epic invention.
I don’t often have fino sherry so I usually resort to Dry Sack. But strangely I now prefer the nuttiness to the fino. Plus this makes for a great excuse to try more aged rum. But I keep coming back to the Bacardi Superior.

Many thanks, Steven. This is a cocktail which Paloma and I keep coming back to. It also batches well (with 27% dilution) to be placed in a freezer for four hours before guests arrive.

Exquisite! Really nice cocktail. (I made it with a Scottish rum - J.Gow - so does that make it a "See You Jimmy"? 🤓)

Brilliant!

Simon, I just saw you’re in Sakura mood and this reminded me of a variety of this cocktail ( which is indeed one of my favorites):
Replace the syrup with Maraschino (or up it a bit) and you have a damned good Sakura, Jimmy. Add Cherry for garnish and consider to stir in a bit of the syrup from the cherry jar for a cherry blossom pinkish hue.

Simon, this is fabulous - it may very well be your best cocktail, as you say. Thank you.

Thanks, Alan. It's one Paloma and I keep going back to.

Are you sure about the sweet/dry level 4? I would say its on the drier side. 6.

Agreed, Michael. I've moved to be a 6.

Do you remember what the genre of the song was? It sounds super familiar

I can pigeonhole a cocktail but not so good on music - alternative/indie/lounge perhaps.
