Absolutely loved the nostalgic candy cocktails piece, some amazing cocktails there. I'm not quite ready for a Smartini but the Werther's Original and particularly the Gingerbread were amazing. It inspired me to do the Rhubarb and Custard https://www.diffordsguide.com/cocktails/recipe/35017/rhubarb-and-custard , worth a try if you like confectionary cocktails

I remember Rhubarb and Custard chews from tuck shop days and so I was also inspired to make a cocktail: https://www.diffordsguide.com/cocktails/recipe/1672/rhubarb-and-custard-cocktail

At My spot I do an homage to the old root beer barrel candy. 1oz St Elizabeth allspice dram, 3/4 oz anisette, 1/2oz simple. topped in a highball ice filled glass with club soda.

Where's your place, Anthony?

You might want to update the tootsie roll description here, as it still describes your old rum based recipe instead of the newer rye based one.

Many thanks for bringing this to my attention. Now corrected to the rye-based version.

Don't forget your very own Turkish Delight cocktail, Simon. It's been in my favourites folder since I stumbled across this site, and it's always been warmly received by everyone I've served it to.

Thanks Steve. That cocktail is a blast from the past I'd completely forgotten about. I need to buy in some Turkish rose water. Certainly no shortage of cocktail based around Turkish delight.
