Been a New York minute since I had one of these. Will be remedying that soon. 😋

[@MasterYourGlass]

Hope you enjoy! It's interesting what the lemon/oj/grenadine do to the whiskey. Cheers

[@TheSpiritoftheCocktail]

LIVIO!!! This is one cocktail I've never tried!! This looks very interesting. As I have some homemade grenadine sitting around, I'm going to have to try this!!! Awesome video!! CHEERS to you my brother!!!

[@MasterYourGlass]

Hey Tim. I bet it will be super with your homemade grenadine. Take care my brother!

[@TheWhiskeyNerd]

Always enjoy these when I make them!

Livio, I love your channel! You have introduced me to the wonderful variety that Amari bring. I will definitely be making this drink. I was a little confused as I watched because you said Rye, but the one you used was the Russel’s 10 Reserve Bourbon, which I believe has a Mash bill of 75% Corn, 13% rye and 12% Malted Barley. This is a great bourbon and the drink sounds great with this as Russel’s 10 can really stand up to all the other ingredients. I will use Russel’s, but will also try one of my Rye’s or a Higher Rye Bourbon as well. Slainte

Nice catch!

[@MasterYourGlass]

Great observation! I probably grabbed the wrong RR bottle before filming. Not sure about the mashbill you listed as i believe Wild Turkey doesn't disclose them. I'm currently tasting the Russell Reserve 10 and there's is a quite a bit of spice. Maybe high rye! Thanks for watching and commenting!

Livio! I like this drink; and after playing around with it, I now go with 2 Rye, 1/2 each of fresh Lemon and Orange Juice, and a full 1/2 of Grenadine (Small Hands brand), plus a 1/4 oz Simple Syrup (adds some sweet and some mouth feel). As a complete aside, if you want to try some more Rye [not Bourbon ;)] cocktails, a personal favorite is the wonderful LW variant, the Monte Cassino (3/4 each Rye, Benedictine, Yellow Chartreuse and Lemon juice.) Cheers, amico mio!

[@MasterYourGlass]

Yeah. I feel like the touch of simple allows you to adjust the sweetness without getting the additional grenadine flavors that might be already balanced in the drink. I love that Montecassino. I must try!!!

[@aginsfbayarea7350]

@@MasterYourGlass I hope you enjoy it! Please let me know.

[@jonathanfranklin461]

Thank you so much for this one. I love rye & Meletti. When you use Luxardo cherries, is that partly to get the cherry flavor into the drink? If lacking cherries, is it generally better to try to add a dash of Luxardo Maraschino or just leave it out? How about a session on when garnishes are essential and when they are not, esp. when presentation is not as important.

[@MasterYourGlass]

Great questions here. In the case of this specific drink the maraschino cherries are just for garnish and those specific ones are popularly used especially for vintage drinks where the bright red cherries are even more out of theme. However a bit of the juice (or even the nutty flavors of Maraschino) would be cool in this drink. Cheers

I feel like most of the time, I've seen people play with the specs of the cocktail because of the orange juice.

[@MasterYourGlass]

Makes sense. Especially if you’re going Tropicana or Tropicana. Thanks for watching
