Haven’t been this impressed by a new cocktail in quite some time. I really like it! I don’t have orgeat almond liqueur but orgeat syrup seems to work too. I used del maquey vida and hampden 8 years. They play very well together. And the bitters together with the 5-spice, it creates some kind of magic. I will certainly make this again.
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.
