Perhaps in ignorance or frustration, this might be the most inaccessible cocktail I've found on this site so far. Mexican corn whisky? Haven't ever seen it. Corn/maize liqueur? Nope. Coriander bitters? C'mon, brother! lol

Would have been far too sweet at 1:1:1. I did .5 of the corn liqueur and even that was pushing it, but tasty nonetheless. I'd guess 1.5:.75:1 is fairly balanced.

I like the richness of the original equal-parts recipe (perhaps better straight-up), but looking at the comments, I can see the desire to turn this more towards an Old Fashioned riff. Your 1½:¾:1 works well, but it is even better with coriander bitters and saline.

This is a great cocktail. I just bought Cocchi American Bianco to make vespers and happen to stumble open this drink and happened to have Nixta and Mexican corn whiskey. It’s smells and taste like corn with a little bit a bitterness from the Chocchi Americano Bianco. I’m glad to have more recipes that use Nixta.

Smells more than it tastes, mild and unintrusive on the palate lasting taste of corn and bittersweet ethenol. Made with recommended ingrediens except corn whiskey, spirit of vhen corm whisky used instead of abaloso

Having just recently picked up Abasolo to try, being a fan of Old Fashioneds and enjoying Nixta I was really looking forward to this. Unfortunately I found it unbearably sweet and unpleasant as a result. Not just slightly sweet; really cloying when made 1:1:1 with Abasolo/Nixta/Cocchi Americano; and I'm not someone who is averse to sweet cocktails in general. I re-made it yesterday with 2:1:1 proportions and this was much nicer, though even still I thought could do with a bit more whisky.

Well I had to make a variation of this as the ingredients are outside even my array. I used 30ml of bourbon, 30 ml of Bianco, 20ml of metzendorff and 10 of popcorn syrup. Not sure how close to the recipe it is but tasted well balanced and complex.
