I made the Aviation, which everyone I served it to enjoyed. This one looks to be the next one on the revival list! :)

Very tasty but tasted quite similar to the doctor. So I opened my new bottle of Smooth Ambler Rye and tried your drier recipe. Wow. It truly is a new way to enjoy the Punsch. The flavor still comes through but the rye really does it’s thing and doesn’t just play buddy like the rum can do. Thanks for sharing! I’ll be adding this to my regular rotation, especially targeting my friends who don’t like the Punsch.

Paul- I really enjoy kummel in the Weekly Special cocktail, which is (the recipe I found) 1oz gin, 1 oz grapefruit juice, 1/2 luxardo maraschino and /2 oz kummel. Aside from that, I have yet to experiment

Hi, Paul, I hope you enjoy the Hesitation. I’ll be interested to learn over time if readers prefer the sweeter original recipe, or something from the drier end of the spectrum.

As much as I’d like to seem really knowledgeable about, well, everything, I’ve never tasted kummel. That’s sort of strange, since caraway and cumin (the “kummel”) are both on my favorite flavors list, but for some reason I’ve never thought to try kummel liqueur. It’s inexplicable, but I can’t advise you on that one.

(Of course, now that you’ve asked the question, it will be nagging at me…)

Thanks for commenting!

Any thoughts on kummel Doug ?!

If you like whiskey, I think you’ll find this a delightful change of pace, and a good addition to the repertoire. Thanks!
