This is so fascinating because the drink contains no bergamot but I get the distinct flavor of it in this drink. Definitely making this again!

This is pretty good, the cachaça definitely adds some funk. If you're willing to try something a little off the beaten path, this is one to try.

I've had a few variations on this drink so I was intrigued by this spec. It's very chocolate forward, not in a bad way, but not what I expected from a Twentieth Century. I think I prefer the Meyer variation.

This is really lovely, though I do recommend slapping the mint before adding to the glass and muddling with the simple syrup and lime juice to bring out even more mint flavor.

I subbed lemon vodka (specifically Deep Eddy) for the gin and lemon juice and it turned out pretty okay. I think this combo probably isn't for me (I found the lemon/orange/peach combo confusing on the palate) but it certainly is a striking drink, appearance-wise.

I'd never tried this drink before, despite mixing them for others. Definitely on the sweeter end of the spectrum (SoCo and OJ will do that to a drink). That said, not the worst drink I've ever had. The liqueurs definitely add something interesting to an otherwise standard screwdriver.

This is delicious! I did need to move it from an old-fashioned to a collins glass in order to get soda water in without it overflowing, but otherwise great recipe!

Like eggnog's cooler, lighter cousin. The interplay of the gin with the other ingredients makes this cream drink eminently sippable and not at all desserty.

I love a good Manhattan! I always use rye whiskey; George Dickel Rye is my favorite--not the fanciest but it blends beautifully with Carpano Antica vermouth. I highly recommend subbing in different brands of old-fashioned bitters if you're getting tired of Angostura.

Definitely a dessert-y drink, but not oversweet. Actually quite nice. I subbed Carpano Antica for the vermouth and still came out lovely.
