An interesting one. Like cold toddy (for those that know hot ones) with a strong streak of gentian and a little bit of floral spice from the bergamot.
Most enjoyable. The bitterness of the fernet was present for us. Used Meletti as the Amaro.
Very nice. An amaretto old fashioned without the sugar. Enjoyed it.
Anything with this much green chartreuse in it will be excellent and this is no different. Grappa fairly subtle for us but just about there. Benefits from dunking the cherry. Lovely stuff.
Wow this is excellent. Light and balanced. Apricot lemon and sake in harmony. Almost tastes like a really high end Savvy B.
Lovely. Like Simon we also used passion fruit liqueur. Worked perfectly. Light smoke mezcal rather than a heavy one. A delicate tropical treat.
This is like a delicate floral fist to the face. We didn’t have the dried apple so sliced a fresh one with a mandolin. Worked well.
Yes very nice. A little more tart than a standard marg as many below have noted. Quite liked that though.
Very nicely balanced. And what a lovely colour. This old friend can come again.
I would have to agree with Chris on this. Perfectly fine but mainly bourbon and the orange / lemon combo coming through for us. Nothing amazing.
A negroni with a little more fruit going on. Like it.
Excellent. As someone below said, bitter, then sweet, then a lingering strawberry aftertaste. Great stuff. Made with half Hampden Estate HLCF and half Diplomatico as the former is… punchy. Agree the absinthe really adds something.
This gets a rare 5 stars from us. Incredible bitter orange flavours. Absolutely delicious.
Very nice. A whisky sour but a good one. Benefits from angostura generosity I found.
Very good. The allspice and cinnamon really sit well with the bourbon. And the orgeat gives it a nice solidity. Big fans here.
Opinions varied on this one. I rather liked it. Delicate and balanced with the orange lemon and lime in concert with the Aperol. (I used syrup de gomme to get the orange blossom flavour). My wife found it a little too delicate - perhaps I overdid the ice as she complained it ended up watery and she tends to go slower on her cocktails than me. Still - if you like sours this is a very nice summer version.
Made with Hampden Estate which I doubled up to cover both the Jamaican Funk and Pot Still portions. Glorious. The peach comes through as others have said and I can still taste it all 20 minutes after finishing it.
Very nice. The inaugural use of my chartreuse elixir vegetal. I may have gotten carried with away with the number of dashes but it was all the more deliciously zippy for it. Maple syrup used in place of sugar cane syrup, which worked well.
Delicious.
Perfectly decent but didn’t blow our socks off. A smoky ginger Ribena. Not that we’re complaining. It was refreshing and went down fairly quickly.
Excited to be the first to write a review of this. It’s like a Bramble meets an Americano. The cassis is the most dominant flavour but the vermouths are there. The gin is invisible. As a result it doesn’t taste anywhere near as boozy as it is. Not super complex, but I can imagine would go down well for many.
This is interesting. Tequila, pineapple and aniseed and vanilla flavours. Nice and fresh, which seems to be a rarity for a Liqor 43 cocktail. We shall have it again!
This is good. It is tart. But fresh. And there’s a fair bit going on. The banana is just there. Didn’t expect to like it as much as I did.
We did also add a little sugar syrup to be fair.
