Nice, and really dry. I followed the recipe, but used reposado (Espolón) instead of añejo. I wonder if that made a difference. If the original recipe asked for Licor 43, then it should be sweeter. I may try different variations soon.
Just outstanding, and so simple that it calls for a second serve.
Excellent, but mine was really sweet. I'm not happy with the quality of the cherry liqueur I can buy in my town, so I've prepared my own. I used Luxardo cherries syrup, a bit of brandy, almond essence, and a tad of Averna to correct sweetness. For the other ingredients, I followed the recipe. I love it, but it's probably much sweeter than it should be.
I love it. Since I've used Xerez brandy, which is quite sweet, I will skip the syrup next time.
The drink itself is very good. I did not enjoy the crusta part.Alot of work for an awkward presentation.
I agr6. The drink it's not outstanding, but quite good however. The work involved in preparing the peel rim is not justified in my opi6. Make it simple, and enjoy it.
This is a wonderful cocktail but, it's not clear to me if I should give it a try with 40ml of whiskey. Did the original version ask for 30ml, or was it 20ml and it has been updated? Cheers!
I tried it right after a Penicillin, and it's almost as good. I cannot identify Montenegro, but it tastes crisper than Penicillin, and I love it. Anyway, as with Manhattan, I enjoy every riff of them. Penicillin is a winning formula, and searching for cocktails with ginger liqueur /syrup plus honey plus citric brings another excellent cocktail.
Basically a White Lady with a dash of absinthe. If that's up your street go for it, if not don't waste your time.
Nice, but not that special, so I added a bit more absinthe to highlight the difference.
