Mezcal and chocolate bitters were overpowering, didn't get any orange. Although I like both I prefer them as subtleties in other drinks rather than taking full center stage. The Oaxaca Old-Fashioned is one of my favorites that displays both better, though this one does inspire me to try tweaking that drink with some orange undertones.
I can see what others are saying that the sweetness is a little heavy, but not too unexpected with yellow chartreuse. I had this after something smoky and boozy so the sweetness was a nice respite. Still would likely pull back on the simple syrup next time as I love all the ingredients straight, but no major complaints with the herbal blend.
Sweet maple giving way to the boozy smoke. Dark chocolate lightly showing up in the swallow. Wish the chocolate peeked through a bit more but delightful otherwise.
Very nice Negroni riff, was expecting the coffee to be an afterthought based on the ratios but it still came through in the aftertaste. Not too strongly but not left behind either.
Felt very one note with vanilla from the Licor 43. Not sure why I didn't like this as much as the standard espresso martini, possibly due to giving off flavored coffee vibes rather than a cocktail.
The agave and tequila go very nicely with the coffee (moka in my case). Agree with Ofek that it is too far on the sweet side and would cut back the agave by at least a third.
Blackberry pie (with a nice helping of spices) in a glass. Sweet but not cloying, the spice making me think of upcoming autumn.
Unfortunately not my thing. Light and refreshing in the mouth, nice berry flavor with just a hint of mint. But on the swallow I was hit with cough syrup that continued in the aftertaste.
I made this without the blender, smashed the blackberries thoroughly and strained the seeds out. I halved the lime juice like normal. Worked very well, I am not a huge fan of berry flavor in general but it went well with the cachaca. Wish it had a bit more lavender since the cachaca and berries took up most of the flavor.
Lovely, sweeter than I was expecting based on the ingredients, especially at first, with the perfect bitter balance. Caraway and citrus pith linger in the aftertaste. Aquavit really needs to be in more cocktails, such a unique flavor.
Slight preference for this over Eeyore's Requiem as I am a big fan of Cynar, which also gives a hint more sweetness.
A slightly sweeter version of the espresso martini, while keeping it dark with the use of the maple syrup over simple. Enjoyable and preferred over the equal parts version (though not as much as the higher proof that has the highest rating on the site).
Had high hopes but unfortunately fell short. Too much chocolate cream and not enough coffee flavor for me, the ratio of bourbon and cream is good but needs more coffee to darken it up a little.
Quite dark and dry despite the irish cream and creme de cacao. Nice creamy mocha just lightly sweetened with a nice hit of bourbon on the finish. My wife took a taste of mine and stole it so clearly enjoyed by her as well.
Nice creamy nuttiness with a hint of chocolate, honey showing up on the swallow. Been probably a decade since I had a Toblerone but this was a lovely reminder. Honey and cream works great together, my wife loved the combo despite not being a fan of honey.
Liked it as is, definitely an adult milkshake. Funnily enough the flavors mix to give off a chocolate and nuttiness rather than any coffee flavor. Can't imagine the point drinking the standard orgasm with how much of a dessert this already is, guess it better be screaming.
Whoa boy is that basil heavy, which is a good thing. Personally think lime would be more my preference but do love the basil.
Nice but after the Edison's Medicine it didn't quite live up. I halved the lemon and it was a nice herbal sour, but the cachaca was so good in the other cocktail.
Lovely, fruity from the cachaca with light herbal notes from the chartreuse. Sweet lime and basil in the aftertaste. Liked it at full lime juice which is unusual for me, I generally half lime/lemon though guess the large amount of agave helps offset.
Very nice and hard to describe, halved the citrus. Sweet lime on the tip of the tongue, minty fernet coming strong on the swallow. The aftertaste is where the nuance lies; molasses, sweet fruit but not obviously banana, herbal, and just a hint of lime.
Darker than the original espresso martini, but also a little sweeter. Gives off espresso candy vibes, which is not a bad thing. This vs traditional would just varying in my mood.
Sweet, but less sweet than I was expecting with the maple syrup and raisins. Also surprised how it does not feel watered down at all with so much added water. Dark fruit and brown sugar with the maple and fernet peeking through.
Nice warmer and subtler version of a Negroni, get more of that Campari citrus flavor without the gin competing.
Right balance of sweet and boozy, I used Appleton 8 yr and may try again with something more complex next time (thinking Smith & Cross to get some banana flavor as well).
