Saw a photo of this recipe in a post and decided to try it. Very nice autumn cocktail-spicy with a hint of apple fruit. I’m sure we’ll make it again!

Finally, a martini variation I enjoyed! 5:1 with 3 onions. (2 is verboten, but not sure why?). I think the bitters in a martini were throwing it off for me—this version is delightful.

Not as balanced as I hoped. Seemed like it should work, but was a tad bitter in the end. Surprisingly so.

Made from a slightly different recipe which omitted cointreau and subbed drambuie for the Benedictine. Not as pretty, but still incredibly tasty!

Did not have Nonino, so tried it with Montenegro. Quite good! Will have to obtain some Nonino to see if there is a big difference.

Made this for the first time last night and enjoyed it much more than I thought I would! Probably even better than the Last Word!

Native Californian here! Herded the comments and upoed the falernum and it was a Bit too funky for me. Wanted to love it, but didn’t. I will try it according to the spec before rating.

This was the only orgeat I could find and it is 'meh' at best. It has an odd tendency to separate in the drink and float on the top, looking like your drink went through a dust storm. Too bad because it was quite expensive. Torani Almond syrup honestly tastes better. I'll try something different next time.

This was the first sweet vermouth I bought. Fell in love with it in a Negroni. Now, I'm out and it will be a while before I'll be in an area where it is sold, so I picked up some Martini Rosso. Dang, I may have to give up Negronis for a while. :,(

I’ve yet to try the version here, but made the traditional version for the first time last night and enjoyed it tremendously. Will try this version next time.

Made my first Negroni tonight. Sampled all of the components separately and was skeptical. But combine them and stir and magic happens! Fantastic!

Had to try this because of the name alone! Next time I will double (or triple) the sugar in my pomegranate juice to make this a tad less tart. Nice either way.
