History

Created in January 2022 by yours truly, inspired by hearing the slightly childish but amusing My Ding-A-Ling song play on the radio and wondering what ingredients I could combine with the first letters M (mezcal), D (Dark rum), A (amaretto), and L (lemon).

With San Cosme mezcal, a dark Navy rum and Doragrossa Amaretto it is a complex cocktail indeed, rather heavy too. Sipping all night, nice!

Hey Simon great respect for your creative process here. Did you ever play with those colourful blocks with the letters on them when you were a kid?

A peculiar blend of flavors, but I kept coming back for another sip. The brand choices are, of course, key with this. I used Siete Misterios, Hamilton Jamaican Pot Still Black, and Gozio amaretto. The former two had a strange, dissonant harmony that I kind of liked. I'll surely play around with this one.

Liking that 'strange, dissonant harmony'... Just made a version substituting Crème de Noyaux for the amaretto plus half a spoon of orgeat. Was quite good, added a slight grenadine note. A lot of room to tinker with the base spirits.
