Nice, but a bit sweet....anyone have an idea for a small adjustment?

I made this with Chazalettes Vermouth Extra Dry Vermouth that I had hanging around. Nice. I made it a second time, where I slightly reduced the Vermouth and compensated with some Amaretto. Very nice. Hope folks try it.

And I used Aperol and Bombay Sapphire...

As per below, I like this. But maybe a tad sweet. I made another version, where I cut the chartreuse and benedictine in half, and made up the difference with Byrrh. Very nice. I hope someone tries it and comments on the variation.

This is delicious.

Try the Widow's Kiss

Wow! I like this one! Thank you so much. With your help, I have recipe that I will add to my repetoire. Thanks.

Try the Widow's Kiss

Thank you. I will try it in the coming days and report back.

Made it...it's ok.

Did not care for it. Too much fernet and lemon. I might try again with different ratios.

I made it...it was ok. Still looking for a home-run cocktail with calvados.

I made it. It was good but not great. A regular Negroni is more to my taste.

I ran out of Poire Williams so tried it with Giffards Pineapple. It was nice.

An excellent rum.

For fun, replaced the vermouth with Gancia Americano. Very nice cocktail.

I think, given the spice & clove in the Falernum and then 3 whole dashes of Ango, the allspice & clove overpowers this drink. It strikes me more as a Vieux Carre riff. However, I'd use 2 oz of a high rye mashbill Rye in this one to stand up to all the clove. Dump the more elegant Cognac in this (and I love Cognac).

I think I agree with you.

It was ok.

I went 1/2 mezcal 1/2 tequila, as I am not fond of straight mezcal drinks. Even so, didn’t care for this one. To each his own.

A very nice drink...and pretty. I like it. More importantly, my wife and her friends like it for taste and beauty.

I liked this one. I used the Hayman's sloe gin and Chazalettes Extra Dry Vermouth. Another time, I swapped the Hayman's for Ha'Penny rhubarb gin. It was ok, but I preferred it with the Hayman's....the extra dry vermouth needs a sweeter gin perhaps. I am no expert...

I recently purchased Otaola Pacharan....did not know what it was, so thought to try. I do not know if it is representative of all Pacharan, but this one truly tastes like cough medicine. (In olden days Cough medicine is also alcohol and botanicals). I really do not care for this one straight or on ice, so have been looking for a cocktail. This recipe is pretty good...will try it with Rye as a Pacharan Boulevardier.

I liked it.

I like it. Our trees are out performing, so we are swimming in figs. Looking for good recipes like this one. Thanks.

A family favorite. I teach this drink to bartenders around the world.
