I only have Sfumato at home but have worked at places that have had both.<br /><br />Tiger Mama was an Asian-themed restaurant (a celebrity non-Asian chef though) with great tiki and tropical drinks. It sadly didn't make it through the Pandemic and the chef/restaurant group rebranded the space into a pizza place called Tenderonis.frederichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17939679837071519844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3940010684303946553.post-69424128289927577372024-03-08T03:38:15.012-05:002024-03-08T03:38:15.012-05:00This will be our second time serving The Long Ecli...This will be our second time serving The Long Eclipse at my present place of employ. It was well-received just coming out of CoViD, and I expect it will be gangbusters this time around. Being in Pennsylvania, we always need to adapt recipes to what our LCB is willing to allow us to purchase--whether in-store or special-order. And I hope that I do a pretty good job of dialing in the bartender's original intention here! <br /><br />Presently, we're stuck using Sfumato (sadly, no more Zucca)... Real McCoy 5-yr, bolstered with a bit of Zaya.

I used Monkey Shoulder and Laird's Bonded with a splash (<1/4oz) of an apple liqueur to draw out a bit more apple notes and a touch more sweetness. Lovely burn at the back of the sip.

Trinidad rum like Scarlet Ibis is column still rum and OFTD has a very flavorful pot rum component. Maybe 3 parts MG to 1 part OFTD or just all MG, but it sounds like you did something close to the latter with Plantation Barbados.frederichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17939679837071519844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3940010684303946553.post-66503837480900826872024-01-26T04:49:19.172-05:002024-01-26T04:49:19.172-05:00I tried this tonight.

On the second try, I switched to the regular Plantation, and dialed back the Campari to 1/2 ounce. That reduced the "shoutiness" of the higher-proof rum... plus I felt that the Campari was being amplified too much by the grapefruit/orange bitters. I felt the second drink was more balanced, though I never felt the bitters really played a significant role. (p.s. I envy you your palate and the ability to suss out all of those vegetal and spice highlights in a cocktail. I've never had that ability, but I'll keep tasting and hoping to catch the details like you do one day.)Jil Wrinklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08289612869693691661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3940010684303946553.post-31972541267437423432024-01-23T12:40:55.986-05:002024-01-23T12:40:55.986-05:00Maybe equal parts OFTD and Mount Gay.Maybe equal parts OFTD and Mount Gay.frederichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17939679837071519844noreply@blogger.com
