Crazy - Morgenthaler's drink (from the citation) was sometime before June 1,2009. If the Kenny that posted the Dark House is Ken Arbuckle, maybe he'll see this and clarify things.
There's another drink in the database called Dark House that's attributed to Ken Arbuckle and has the exact ingredients and ratios. I'd love to know who actually came up with the drink and what the true name is.
Thanks for the citation. Updated source per zombijosue. Added brand of gin and corrected the amount of mint from 6 to 3 springs to conform to cited recipe.
This is a perfectly balanced drink. I've been making it with Eagle Rare 10, though will be trying with Weller 107 -- I'm curious to see how it performs with a higher-proof, wheated spirit.
I have a bottle of Perucchi (blanc) but I've not yet opened it as I had to go to some effort to find it- glad to hear it's good. Now I need to check out Lacuesta; haven't heard of it before, but I love sherry so I bet I'd like it. Hopefully it isn't too hard to source.
Moderated slightly to add instructions and to conform to PDT cocktail book, which specifies Four Roses, rather than the poster's Woodruff Reserve. Any bourbon would do, I'm sure.
Picked up some Cara Caras today, so I had to try this again... Wow! Almost a completely different drink. The citrus has a completely different character, and is much more grapefruit-like, reminding me of the Jasmine. The Fernet stays a little more in the background too... I'm honestly not sure which I like more (though the blood orange version had a much more pleasing color). Fortunately, it's not a very boozy drink, so I suppose I'll have to make 1 or 2 more each way to decide. ;)
Hell yes Scott Pilgrim.
Removed "fresh" from the modifiers - we assume that you're going to use fresh juices, etc... as per the Style Guidelines.
I've made this cocktail several times and it just gets better each time. The mix of peach bitters and Fernet is really nice. 4.5/5
Smoky and tart, even with the small amount of lemon juice. Great drink.
Sure. Send it my way!
Yum. I just snapped a decent pic of it, if you'd like to post.
Possibly the first drink I've ever had that combines rye and gin, this one is surprising and awesome. I taste apples.
Stew,

Suggestions welcome and appreciated!
wow, I'm going to try this just for the From Autumn to Ashes reference!

Yum yum. Hitting the spot after a run.
I second the orgeat suggestion. Very tasty! To be fair, I haven't tried it with St. Germain yet, but I will!
love it.
1/2 oz Acid phosphate?! I'm puckered.
Oustanding. Super-tasty, unique. Reposado never went down so smoothly.

Liked.
Did Woodford Reserve and Amaro Averna. I might reduce the simple sugar a bit next time. The Averna is on the sweet side already.
Curated slightly - moved spiced from the ingredient field to the comment field. Can you share the recipe for the simple syrup?
