Really enjoyed this recipe. Used Van Gogh double espresso uu but may cut a bit next time.

I've got to source some navy rum but made this with Smith & Cross 114 & loved it. The water took the edge off the 114, but not the rum flavor. I may even float .25oz Q151 on the next one

It's like a weed if you'll borrow a couple of plants with roots & stick them in nice soil. It spreads and comes back each year. Julips, mojitos, tikis, bourbon smashes etc require fresh FREE spearmint.

A truly stunning discovery! I love the idea of letting the white wine provide the brightness and acidity instead of citrus. Elegant, original, and beautifully balanced.

Top notch tequila martini variation. Definitely going on my Friday night rotation. Used Campari instead of Strucchi red bitters and would be interested to know if the Strucchi ingredient is an Improvement.

Amazing drink.

May I respectfully add that I believe it has no garnish. Gregor used to say "No garnish can sustain the power of a Nuclear Daiquiri".

Cheers !

Seriously delicious...a citrus and berry 'bomb' with lovely apple and herbal notes. Really nice balance and complexity and the Brandy gives it pleasing depth. So bravo. On a second pass, wanting to nudge it ever so slightly away from the fruit and towards the floral and bitter, we substituted Gin for the Brandy and added a couple of dashes (maybe one would have sufficed) of Grapefruit Bitters. But now we're probably talking about a 'Blue Thomas'.

Quite enjoyable as a summer drink. Lime cordial is a strange beast…tastes of lime but then again it doesn’t!

Thanks, George. I'll be sure to add the Emerald Dream to Difford's Guide.

Yeah.... not only did I scale it up 1.5x, I had two of 'em
If this leads to a hangover, it was totally worth it.

Oh, my, yes. Fruit, flowers, gin (the Botanist was excellent in this as a botanical backbone)bitters, citrus, all lovely. But.... this mezcal note is so unexpected. Suddenly its tiki +. (And its pineapple.) God help me.

My first reaction was ‘Meh’, good but nothing really stood out. As I let it sit a bit though, it really opened up. Once the initial chill is gone, it’s much more interesting.

Little hit of hoppy ale up front (used my homebrewed bitter) followed by a vague fruit punch flavor. Second sip in and the maple (dark amber from VT) expresses itself. Overall quite fruity, with the bourbon giving a slight kiss of its character in the background. Too easy to slug back.

Maraschino, gin and zesty citrus hit. Nice.

Hard to get real Pomegranate syrup anywhere so I've had to make my own and boy is it worth it! Even cutting the typical recipe proportions down I have enough in the fridge to last a while for not just this cocktail but for others.

If Pomegranate isn't to one's taste Strawberry or Cherry syrups also work though with a different flavor profile.

We're constantly surprised how few recipes there are for this on Difford's Guide, relative to how delicious it is: time for a competition or two?

Americano rosso can do no wrong in our house, so inevitably we enjoyed this subtly floral aperitif. Definitely one we will return too.

I substituted 1/4 oz Green Chartreuse and 1/4 oz Italicus for the Yellow Chartreuse. I like the bigger herbal hit with less sweetness and a tad more citrusy than when I followed the OG with YC. There needs to be more cocktails that pair GC and Italicus, it's such a match made in heaven. See “Emerald Dream” on the Liber&Co site.

Hope it holds up to the anticipation. I had to really experiment to get that vibrant blueberry flavor and deep color. Its good to enjoy the work!

We will try this...our grocer has blueberries now. In the meantime, we did a Negroni:
30ml Never Never Gin
30ml Cardamaro
17.5ml Tanica red bitter aperitivo
2.5ml lemon syrup
The Gin is a downunder (and, in our unashamedly biased view, excellent) double distilled version of a London dry, with a slightly higher ABV than is usually found. The Tanica is a downunder aperitivo made from Davidson's Plum (a local tropical fruit) and Strawberry Gum leaf. Campari will will be more austere and bitter, Tempus Fugit less bitter and more fruity.

Between the Easy Street and the White Linen, I prefer the Easy Street, as it’s less Cucumber forward and the lemon juice works a little better with these ingredients, then the lime juice does in a White Linen, however if I was to make this drink again, I might ditch the simple syrup and add about 7.5ml or 1/4 fl oz elderflower liqueur and a few drops of saline solution to this drink, however overall both these drinks are pretty good and would definitely make them again

Yes you are right, I missed it.

Liking the bitters and saline that don't appear in Joly's video.

I love an easy cocktail. Paper plane ratio of 1oz. each Planteray Dark (bit of extra sweetness is welcome here), Aperol, Montenegro, Lemon, and this is delicious. Citrus profile leans trends more toward grapefruit more than lemon, orange or blood orange, but is really none of the above. Unlike so many amari, the Montenegro keeps this drink fresh and refreshing. Definitely on my 'what do I do with all these lemons?' list. Nicely balanced.
