Made it with substitutes for the first two ingredients and it was drinkable. To save u time googling. . . - Suze is an earthy bitter - Lillet blanc is mostly white wine mixed with citrus liqueurs
In a fit of cocktail enthusiasm I bought a bottle of Suze a couple of months ago, but I haven't really found the killer application until now. This is a great cocktail. Made it as per the instructions, with Dolin vermouth, Wild Turkey bourbon and seville orange marmalade. This recipe is going into the starting rotation. BTW, regardless of how hard you stir not all the marmalade will dissolve. Don't throw away the contents of the strainer - eat it with a spoon! :-)
What makes this drink low alcohol? Every ingredient is 15-20% alcohol, plus bourbon...
I love this drink. I'm sipping on my first one now. It's always a pleasant surprise when I really like a drink with dry vermouth--except for a dry martini, of course. And as much as I love the flavor of orange, I don't usually like it in cocktails unless it's in the form of Cointreau, Dry Curaçao, Grand Marnier, etc. But this one's a winner in my book. I made it exactly as written. I wouldnt change a thing. Brava, Ms. Davidson, and thank you.
Suze has been impossible to find locally here in the NYC/NJ area. At the advice of several bar pros, Salers Aperitif is the perfect alternative for a gentian root ingredient. Also, I found that the marmalade didn't really blend into the other ingredients and was mostly left in the missing glass and strainer. Real good though, very nice.
Substituted Galliano for Suze and it was delicious! (Evidently everyone in Portland, Maine is trying to make this recipe so there is no Suze to be had in the entire city!)
