I had it at the Le Lion in Hamburg and it made me buy sloe gin immediately. But I learned that the perfect balance of the drink is not easy to achieved. The sloe gin needs to be rather Dry and the quality of the orgeat is crucial as well. And finally everything has to adapted to the sweetness of the Champagne/Sparkling wine
challenging but rewarding drink
Dub Rum Punch
Pineapple juice, Strawberry sugar syrup, Lime juice, Pink grapefruit juice, (+ 4 more)
Made the Smuggler's Cove Recipe, which muddles fresh pineapple chunks before shaking. It really like the elegant pineapple flavor of the muddling. The SC Recipe uses more sugar and liqueur. I guess I can bring down sugar to 1/4 OZ if using 1/2 OZ of Apricot Brandy
Best Aperitivo I had yet. Lovely drink that demonstrates that complexity and balance don't need a lot of alcohol.
I need to try the Rome Royal Riff with Champagne instead of Soda. Guess it'll be a blast.
Lovely Drink. I used Don Q Reserva 7, a great Rum for this drink.
Why is it called Dry Daiquiri? One would expect a something dry like a martini. This drink is rather like a small jungle bird trying to fly. Let's call it Fly Daiquri.
I live this drink, but it's always tricky to find the right Rum and falernum for it. My Falernum (Revolte from Germany) is more intense end ginger forward than Taylor's and together with Dry Curacao it tends to overpower light rums. I used Don Q Reserve 7 tonight and I believe I need to scale to 7 cl or add a more flavorful British style rum.
With Jamaican Rum only it becomes something lika a may tai served up.
Gran Paradiso
Martinique VSOP rum, Amaro (e.g. Nonino), Absinthe, Orange juice, (+ 2 more)
Dragon Punch is a instant top 10 of mine. Amazing drink!
I love this sweet drink. I added 2 dashes of Grapefruit Bitters to improve the balance a bit.
Fanatastic Drink. Substituted Averna for Lucano (used Knob Creek and VIDA). Best Whiskey Sour twist I tried so far.
Bitter Grapefruit Colada
White overproof rum, Amaro (e.g. Averna), Cream of coconut, Pink grapefruit juice, (+ 3 more)
Lovely Drink! Mastiha is a fanatastic liqueur and it really shines in this one.
I'd like to know, which proportion of soda you used?
And I used a lot more basil and added (like in a Gin Basil Smash) a hand full of leafs.
It's very tasty but too sweet. I reduced sugar to 1 cl and used Dry tonic and it still was too sweet. If you're using a regular sweet Tonic, I would recommend to use no additional sugar at all.
