Has potential but too sweet for me as prescribed.
Complicated. Is Nando Imamuraso still in Hong Kong? I'd like to quiz him about this one.
Unremarkable. I could only recommend this to tequila lovers who don't appreciate the wonder of the classic Last Word. Fortunately I am not friends with these people.
Excellent
Tried this while on a mission to empty the cupboard - the pear eau de vie had been wasting space for too long. Also subbed the Bene (too precious for an experiment) with Berão. Really good! Inspiration for future variations, unfortunately means I'll have to buy another bottle of eau de vie...
Surprisingly pleasant. Very pretty, and a lot less sweet than I expected.
Campari and red vermouth in the original Negroni are really sweet
Campari really sweet? You must be a very bitter man.
I found the cacao overwhelming. Tried orange bitters, then aperol to tame the sweetness. Ashamed to say this one went down the drain :-(
It's a sweet martini on the rocks; mystery solved. If thats your thing you won't be disappointed.
Nicely spicy, good winter warmer. Ambitious statement as it's solstice.
Run out of bianco so resorted to extra dry. The result was bitterness incarnate - wouldn't recommend.
Not totally unpleasant but a bit weird
Simple but effective
Think Dry Manhattan and you've got it covered. If you like dry and Manhattans, you're home.
Pretty good in general (without being a 5* top drawer go-to), but I have to agree with the popular voice - stirred is better than shaken.
It's good but it's not right.
Maybe throw a party and serve Banana Daiquiris and Banana Coladas. That will finish it pretty quickly.
Finish the party or the bottle?
Winner. Very summery.
Amusing hue but unremarkable taste
Tried it once, acceptable. Tried it again after some Lindt black chocolate truffles and it was excellent.
Thanks, Andy. For the benefit of others, I've referenced Black Sabbath above.
Just came here to commend you for the Sabbath reference. Fortunately I don't have all the ingredients to try it.
Very pleasant, made more enjoyable by how easy it is to remember, and to recite to uneducated barmen.
Quick, easy and dare I say it, possibly better than a regular espresso martini.
