Classic flavor of rye, oak and a mild liqueur sweetness and a mild honey aftertaste.
The nuances of a Monster Energy Drink or AMP with the citrus and melon balance that comes out fairly sweet in overall flavor profile. Easy drinking, reminiscent of the Midori sour with less sour. The vodka is lost within this drink.
Light and refreshing mint with a hint of sweetness with a great aroma of mint through the air, light rum notes but subtle.
A white powerade with a dry citrus finish with a really nice fancy/sexy look
Good deal of medicinal flavors along with a bit of sweet vermouth balanced against a high end sloe gin
The taste of what we can imagine a “gin liqueur” would taste like, a lightly watered down gin with a hint of rounded sweetness. Definitely a time period piece that we just recreated.
Light bourbon flavor, mild oaks with a pretty defined sour finish. Great for a hot summer day.
Almost starts sweet then abruptly turns into a bitter bitting explosion, the gin is quite muted leaving you with a bitter finish.
Imagine a rye-based whiskey sour with a bit more citrus punch and a slightly more sour appeal and you’ve got the Ward 8 classic pre-prohibition cocktail.
A sour rich raspberry flavor with a nice lime balance with a dry finish finish and no vodka flavor or burn. This could be a heavy hitting cocktail so take it slow.
A fairly sour cocktail with passion fruit as the secondary flavor over that of the sour citrus. The dark rum doesn’t play nearly the part we would have thought it would play. In the end, I think this recipe needs more passion fruit syrup to really kick up the passion.
