I love this! I make it often. But then I’m a fan of spirit-forward drinks. I use Hennessy vs and home-made orgeat. Instead of boker’s bitters, which I don’t have, I use 1 dash ango + 1 dash cacao bitters + 1 coffee bean. It’s delicious.

Ooooh, I like this a lot! I used rittenhouse rye, daron calvados, carpano antica and nonino. The smell is gorgeous. Apple, orange and warm spice. Perfect for autumn. It’s sweet enough for me. And quite boozy! I might need a bit more ice next time.

This is my guilty pleasure. Right now I have a really nice Ron Abuelo rum that pairs wonderfully with the sherry and Demerara sugar. I use chocolate bitters instead of angostura. It tastes like a raisin-brandy desert that is sold in my country as ‘boerenjongens’. You can eat it with ice cream or pancakes. Lovely.

This is not a sweet cocktail. Flavours are quite subtle. VERY refreshing though. And I love that I can taste the tequila so clearly. I am trying this for the first time on a cool evening but I imagine this would be brilliant on a hot summer afternoon.
