John Hinojos
As this was listed as a Christmas Eve cocktail, we decided to use Empress Gin from Canada which is coloured by pea flowers which turns from purple to pink in lemon juice. The resulting cocktail had a rose purple hue which was perfect for the season.
Loved this cocktail. In San Diego, CA, USA we do have a lot of tequila cocktails. This was outstanding with a spicy Mexican dinner. Did add a float of Anejo tequila for a little extra punch. Definitely going on my favourites list.
Made again substituting grenadine for the sugar syrup. Use Myer's Rum, but added a float of Smith and Cross Jamaican Rum (overproof - Navy). Perfect. Perfect for the Winter Solstice.
Liking my cocktails a little less sweet, I reduced the amount of Ameretto to the same as the bourbon, rye, and whisky.
