First cocktail I made with a newly acquired bottle of Biker's Bitters. I'm not certain how strong the flavor of the bitters are specifically, but this is an absolutely lovely cocktail. I will be making this again!

After additional experimentation, I now bump Rye and Cognac (I really like that blend), and Sweet Vermouth to 1 oz each; 1/2 oz Dom B; 3 dashes Peychauds; 2 dashes Angostura. And I now generally serve it "up." It's a good sized drink, and for a smaller one Mr. Difford's proportions work very well as well. I just like slightly more of the Benedictine. Cheers to all!

That's exactly how I make it as well. It's practically two drinks in one with the amount of booze in there, but it's such a great cocktail that I don't mind at all. In fact, I have one in front of me right now.

I think this is one of the finest Mezcal cocktails, because it blends so nicely with the other ingredients. Not sure if it matters but I used Carpano Antica as vermouth.

I really like this cocktail, but with all the big flavours I can't really taste wether I do or don't add the 5ml cold Earl Grey. I suppose it's just my unrefined palate?

Very nice drink. I was looking for a good use of Frangelico. But, I think next time I might add a few dashes of orange bitters to up the bitterness and add a bit more complexity.

Good tip
Tried it for the first time, with bitters. Definitely a nice balanced cocktail.

I don't have Celery Gin so I used Beefeater and added a dash or two of celery bitters. I really like the version without, but it's even better with the bitters for my taste. Great recipe either way!
