you cannot suit all the people all the time. This one is not for me.
Far too sweet. This combination smelled and tasted like medicine.
Not a classic.
Often in restaurants and bars, the porn star martini has a fairly thick foam and is velvety to drink. having tried the above recipe i dont get this much foam. I have been using Giffard passion fruit liqueur instead of Passoa. Is that the reason? Can anyone advise on how to make the foam (without using eggs)?
Very much like this cocktail (so have friends). in view of managing the sweetness I have decreased the quantity of the rosso and liqueurs and increased the quantity of rum accordingly.
Really nice. Lagoon colour. Very appropriate for a hoy sunny day.
Tried it with ferro china baliva instead of Campari.
So obviously this did give a brown colour to the cocktail.
Rather have the iron negroni cocktail or standard negroni.
Not convinced about the sour element added to this.
Really nice and boozy. The whiskey bitters make a difference. I resisted buying some because of the price it is very much worth it.
It is a really nice liqueur with outstanding pear aroma. A little sweet (for my liking) to taste on its own. Adding a small ice cube does the treat. I offered it to friends and they loved it.
I have used the Avallen calvados which has this gorgeous apple flavour and reduced the amount of Antica Formula to 20ml. Partner felt it was well balanced this way. Served cocktail in Nick & Nora.
Glad to have tried it but not in love with this one. Gave it a 3 stars rating.
Very good - I used 45ml of cognac, 15 ml of Curacao (instead of Cointreau), 15ml of white rum and 15 ml of lemon juice.
Very clever - However I dont like having to wait 10 minutes for the thin line to appear. Personally I like to drink the cocktail cold. The amount of bitter was unpleasant for me.
Tried as per recipe. Looks really good with the foam!
Nothing special taste wise. I would recommend the Roman Twist cocktail instead.
Very nice. The Avallen calvados is gorgeous. Its apple flavour stands out. I prefer this recipe without the sugar syrup.
Very nice. Friends loved it except the floating star anise which looked like a spider floating in the glass. Recommend it for Halloween.
Not sure about this receipt. I felt the subtle (good quality) Dutch genever was overpowered by the orange Curacao.
A negroni with Tequila instead of gin. I have used Ferro China Baliva instead of Campari. It was moreish. Overall I prefer the Iron Negroni.
Really good and tasty, very cleverly reminiscent of the Bakewell tart.
This is a nice, tasty cocktail, simple to make.
As the quantity is quite small overall I have doubled the amount of gin which makes the drink still balanced given the Benedictine BOM is quite sweet.
Absolutely brilliant! Really practical. Very happy with it.
I have followed the recipe from Beachbumb’s berry book it includes some angostura bitter and Instead of pineapple juice it uses a Don’s mix which is made of Grapefruit juice and cinnamon syrup. I used gingerbread syrup. I did not use sugar syrup. The whole cocktail tasted really good (very moorish). It is long to prepare (for an amateur like me).
Very nice but I found that the vanilla aroma from the vodka (made my own) is overpowered by the espresso coffee. Would rather stick to the standard expression martini recipe or even better the Lazarus!
Tried it with ‘vanilla infused’ vodka and enjoyed it on a sunny evening.
I have really enjoyed a recipe of a cocktail of the same name (as served at Sloppy Joe’s bar in 1935) which is made of equal proportion (3/4oz) of white creme de cacao, cognac, gin and freshly squeezed lime juice. Ref Beachbum Berry’s potions of the Caribbean.
A pleasant sweet cocktail. It’s only draw back is its somewhat muddy appearance.
