Didn't have amaretto used homemade vanilla extract and it was fantastic.
A nice introduction to Nocino and I liked the Aperol to brighten the drink versus using a sweet vermouth. The allspice dram spritz is what elevates this drink for me and I will be making these when the weather gets colder and as a holiday treat.
Tried this and just couldn't get behind it. Used a 103 proof rye and felt the rye + fruit flavors didn't meld well.
Great evening cocktails that perfectly matches the name. Will make again when I’m looking for something a little sweeter, especially around the holidays.
A higher proof gin really improves this cocktail. I used a Four Pillars at 46.5% and it was quite tasty.
Impulsively bought a bottle of CdV and I'm tired of Aviations. The chartreuse works beautifully and lessons the floral aroma while rounding out an excellent drink.
I wasn't sure how this would turn out, but it was quite nice. The 1/4 of benedictine complemented the sweetness of the apple brandy and the floral of the whiskey. A nice aperitif and very drinkable.
