I made this with Rubenesque Bourbon for the scotch and Bullit Rye for the peated whisky. I thought this was a lovely drink. Next time, maybe I'll try a different ginger liquor (I used Mr. Stacks, but it was a budget choice and not a quality one), and it might add more "umph".

I used seven raspberries and swapped out the Bianco Vermouth for Lillet Blanc.

Tasted better than when I used Dry Vermouth as a substitute.

It’s sweeter, bolder and well worth dealing with the raspberry mash.

No need to shake, just stir.
Drop the sugar; it masks the flavors. If you want it sweeter, add more ginger ale.

The general consensus seems to be that the simple syrup is not needed, so I omitted it.
I did not have plain black/blackstrap rum on hand, but I had Kraken black spiced rum.

With these in mind, I thought the cocktail was nice. Next time I’ll buy a sample of blackstrap rum and try again.

Had to replace the Chartreuse with Benedictine DOM, but this turned out to be delightful!

This was very enjoyable!

Instead of Ketel One, however, I took the opportunity to use Cardinal Sins’ Starka Barreled Vodka.
I’m going to have to remake it later with plain vodka so I can definitively say what it added.
