I just bought my first bottle of Ramazzotti. Upon first taste, it seems like a milder version of Averna. I greatly prefer Averna as a neat tipple after a large meal, but I think Ramazzotti may be more versatile in cocktails, which is the primary purpose for non-base spirit modifiers in my small home bar. Any suggestions on mixed drinks using Ramazzotti would be much appreaciated.

It makes a very good sour. Also plays well with pineapple juice.

this is me spit balling here on a recipe so you have more of a Jumping off point.

2 oz ramazzotti
.75 simple
.5 lime
1 oz pineapple juice
Egg white

dry shake

wet shake

serve in a single old fashioned. It’s a large volume drink because of the egg white and pineapple juice. throw some ango on top to kill the egg stank

-Pineapple doesn’t work as a perfect acid substitute with lime and lemon.
-lower abv of ramazzotti requires less modifier. -Egg white requires more sugar.
I can’t back this recipe with 100% certainty it’s perfect because of the above factors. I don’t have pina juice at home so I can’t make one to guide you anymore.

When I was in Italy, I ordered a Ramazzotti (had never had it before), and the bartender clearly said "The American wants a Ramazzott?!" I confirmed, and got excellent service for the rest of the night.

Was a high point of the trip.


I like it straight with ice.

I had the same experience with Fernet Branca.
Instant street cred...

I feel your pain.
Back in the day I was out with friends for some large dinner function at a restaurant. One of my best friends married into a family of bible-racists. And they don't drink ( strike 3 ). So it's whispered around at the table that no one should order alcohol.
Of course, I ordered my boozes extra loud while I stared right at them.

We had a nice bottle of wine on Thursday, per plan, but not relaxing with a cocktail last night was trying. Still, no booze and I was up and at them around 5:45a this morning.

Sam Adams utopia.

Which year?

I have a sam adams triple bock I've had in my fridge for years and before then in uh less than ideal storage. Should open it soon.

Bought the cruzan bottled mai tai. Cruzan is not the most inspiring rum. This was....tropical. it didn't have quite the same qualities of a mai tai which is easy to lose in a bottle. It wasnt even really a mai tai. Was it bad? No. Was it good? Maybe. When i want a refreshing tropical tikilike drink and just want to pour over ice it is pretty good. Although i could tell the rum wasn't of the highest quality even by cruzan standards.

Thanks @Bhowie. I'll try that recipe minus the egg white. (I don't eat eggs, so I don't want to buy a carton just for cocktails.) Ramazzotti smells exactly like Coca-Cola to me, so I'm playing around with Plantation 3 Stars to see if I can make an approximation of a boozy rum and coke.
