A favorite go to when the mint is fresh, this is a fabulous Daiquiri. Thoroughly enjoyed with a gold/light rum split, but made it this time with Carta Blanca and a spoon of Hamilton 86 Demerara River rum. My mint is probably mentha canadensis, wild mint, which has a more profound menthol/peppermint flavor than spearmint. Flawless!!!

If you are in love with Bloody Marys, this is like the happy nephew. Very refreshing, in a way of a Daiquiri, but a balance completely differetn. I would recommend it for breakfasts. This one is the reason why I love to make cocktails: being absolutly surprised by a flavor.

A delightful little drink which showcases the two whiskeys in a really different light to a traditional whiskey cocktail. The splash of soda water adds just a slight sizzle to each sip. Very good.

If you don’t like or can’t have bourbon, Absaroka Double Cask Gin 49 is a WONDERFUL alternative. I’m sure other barrel aged gins would be good. Absaroka is just very mellow and perfect for this cocktail.

Full ounce measures produced a tasty sour. I suspect this to be a forgiving combination, should one add some volume to a favorite item on the menu.

Somehow seems like it shouldn't work, but man, it works!

Just tried this recipe at home and it's a banging cocktail, the lemon and Cointreau hit first, followed by the Frangelico and then the bitters at the end, absolute beauty. Well done bro, I bet this cocktail got you laid at least a couple of times

The Averna and Benedictine are friendly companions in this, which was not a guarantee given the complexity of each. Quite a nice sipper.

Excellent. Agree with John Carr's comment that the grenadine is important. I also used Carpano as the vermouth which I think fit well.

No lime acid here, I’ve used fresh lime juice.
A lot of flavours, good balance, very nice.

Agreed with others, this is ace. Reminds me of lemon lime bitters drink.

Doubled the cognac and dialed back the amaretto to 15 ml.
Yummy!
Used a homemade rhubarb syrup.

Definitely aperol forward, although the lemon juice and Maraschino are quite pronounced. Oddly by texture it felt diluted.

clean taste - very Scandinavian!

This cocktail confirmed that my raspberry sugar syrup is very sweet, and so I have left it unrated for the moment (I had to calm it down with two dashes of grapefruit bitters). Otherwise it's a flavour combination that is close to my heart, so I may well be back...

Normally I first try the original recipe, but today I had to start with an no-ABV version. I used 2 strawberries, 6cl o,o% Tanqueray, Mionetto 0,0%, elderflower syrup and added two drops saline solution and a grind of good black pepper. The result was really tasty, obviously not like the original.

Used 60ml of Reposado instead of the blanco, worked wonderfully. Didn't have the Tajin around for the seasoning but I can that being a great addition. Lovely summer aperitif!

you cannot suit all the people all the time. This one is not for me.
Far too sweet. This combination smelled and tasted like medicine.
Not a classic.

24 hour steep was superb. Drew out some of the more savoury/vegetal flavours from the raspberries. Did a double measure of the liquid to roughly two tablespoons of raspberries smooshed up. Pure raspberry-sloegroni bliss! Payneful it certainly was not.

Could definitely batch this for summer parties. When you’re ready to serve, add roughly 10ml water per serving and pour straight over a Rock. I’m guessing that leaving undiluted for the steep will improve extraction.

Made with rhubarb flavoured gin and it was quite tasty. Full disclosure: we are rhubarb and ginger fans.

Revisited with a different cachaça. Still exceptional.

It's good, not mind blowing.

I really liked this, but I felt the D.O.M was a little too dominant. I will try this again with a little lemon juice. However, I still really enjoyed this.

I love this. It's like a whiskey sour with a dark, sexy voice.
