A good cocktail. I love the flavour combination, but I found it a tad on the sweet side. I made it with a 40 abv whiskey and it would probably be a lot better with a bottled in bond style bourbon.
This wasn’t really for me. While the flavours worked well I found it too sweet and lacking a bit of bite. I added some lemon juice, chartreuse and another dash of bitters. I can imagine it being a lot better with acid adjusted orange juice.
Whoa! This one sure does pack a punch! Fiery ginger, smokey mezcal, Campari bitterness, yet fresh. I do realise I’ve just more or less have listed the ingredients, but it’s one thing reading them and a wholly different thing tasting them together. With all the big flavours the Campari somehow becomes a supporting act for the ginger and the mezcal. The combination works really well, but it’s not for everyone.
This was very nice indeed. I used Del Maguey Vida and Worthy Park 109 and homemade orgeat instead of the liqueur. A lot of big flavours, mellowed by the crushed ice. The chocolate bitters and five spice is an especially good combination. A fun sibling of the Tia Mia!
