Slightly drier than I was expecting - but not in a bad way! A very nice sipper indeed.
I thought it was a bit too dry, so I increased the liqueur a little to make it just a bit sweeter, lovely!
Made it in original proportions (60ml Zuidam oude genever 3 yr, 30 ml Dolin rouge, 1 dash bitter truth bogart's) and thought it wasn't too dry at all, delicious!
Definitely the best way to make a Mojito, and indeed more like the way they make it in Cuba itself than other recipes on Difford's guide (as I remember it at least)
I didn't have Cardamaro so switched that for 10ml sweet vermouth + 5ml Amaro Averna. Probably not the same but holy smokes it tasted incredibly good!
New favourite! Made with Boomsma Cloosterlikeur (+5ml) for the chartreuse. Maraschino -5ml because I find it can quickly overpower the other flavours. And I used Zuidam Korenwijn 1 yr genever, which tastes absolutely lovely on its own already.
Nice! The flavours pair really well with each other and it is nicely balanced too.
Absolutely love this cocktail, in equal parts. I used Gordon's London dry gin, from which the juniper forward taste combines very well with the bittersweet notes of Suze and Lillet.
Made it with reposado, loved it!
How much is a 'scoop' crushed ice approximately?
I agree with the notes about the sweetness, but anyway, this is absolutely delicious
Why is this not the same as a Southside?
I like to up the genever a bit (60ml) and add one or two dashes of absinth.
