posted a comment on Kummel Ye Faithful

I love the specificity of when to enjoy this!

Is there a way to search in the Cocktail Finder for a mood or setting (e.g. Christmas night, Backyard Summer Quencher, Let's Get This Party Started, etc)?

Made three different Corpse Revivers today and this was by far the Big Winner!

Followed directions exactly and Mwah! Chef's kiss :)

Perfect showcase for the charms of Herbsaint!

Followed the recipe exactly and it was ideal for our tastes :)

Bought it for the cool label, but did not like it AT ALL! Tastes like washing up liquid.

Ended up returning it and buying the Veil brand knock-off, which was MUCH better. It tastes a little bit like cantaloupe and is the secret ingredient in my Hibiscus Margarita ;)

Very nice!
I heeded previous commenters' warnings about the FB lemon bitters and used a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, and definitely included the lemon twist.

Doubling the gin did not upset the balance of flavors ;)

You don't have to be a Swiftie to appreciate this!

Made a variation using Kummel instead of Krupnik.
Enchanting!

Oh my gosh, this is a dream come true!

Myer's rum, Cynar and some random cream sherry that I got with my birthday discount from Total Wine.

SO GOOD!!!

posted a comment on Martinez (Difford's recipe)

60 ml Old Duff Single Malt
60 ml sweet vermouth
7.5 ml dry vermouth
5 ml Cointreau
1 dash angostura bitters
Orange twist

Spectacular!!!!

This is a grown-up drink :)

We had the good fortune to spend a delightful afternoon at the Bellas Artes location of La Ferneteria in 2025. This is one of the cocktails that we tried, so I was thrilled to stumble across it here while looking for a way to use up a half bottle of Malbec!

Very refreshing with a novel mix of flavors. Good introduction to fernet for the uninitiated.

Please note that while soda water is on the list of ingredients, the instructions indicate tonic water, which is how it was served at La Ferneteria.

Very nice!!
Dialed back the pineapple juice and orgeat to 15 ml each and it was still sweet enough for me.

Wowee!
Remarkable!
Made a triple batch to share with my boyfriend, and skipped the sugar syrup.
Instant new favorite!
And to think that I only discovered it while looking for a way to utilize an open bottle of Malbec :)

Used Myer's rum. Didn't have Drambuie, so substituted homemade Lithuanian Krupnikas, which is pretty sweet, so skipped the lime cordial.

Probably a completely different drink, but really, really good!!!
