So it should come as a shock to absolutely no one that most of these are completely undrinkable. I've also discovered that Campari and ********* juice is an awful combination. It wasn't a complete disaster though, since it did result in the revelation of the Ted Crews cocktail: 1 1/2oz Cruzan spiced rum 3/4oz sweet vermouth 1/4oz passionfruit syrup 1/4oz of any bitter apritif liqueur of your choice. I used campari, but it'd probably be equally hilarious with cynar or fernet. Dash angostura bitters One of the similar face variations ended up being a rum manhattan with campari, and it just felt right. Though that may have been the feeling of five or so increasingly confusing, semi randomly generated rum cocktails. Like seriously, please don't make any of these, they're horrible.

For those of you who are interested, here's a pastebin of all of the Similar Face cocktail variations 1-30. I basically had a random cocktail ingredient generator open, and modified, added, or subtracted ingredients based on what it threw at me. No, I did not try any of these except for the original recipe I emailed in (Similar Face 2 on this list), so all of the ratios are probably off. I'll be picking out some highlights and actually making them this weekend. http://pastebin.com/VUEDeqUd Similar Face 4 is probably the most drinkable version of the original, though it may be on the sweet side due to the simply syrup. The SS is required in the egg white recipes to help smooth it out, but most of the others it's pretty extraneous because of the liqueurs. Similar Face 6 & 7 are basically just weird, terrible cousins of the 20th & 21st century cocktail, respectively. Track down a bottle of Cochi Americano to use in place of lillet blanc, and just make these instead. If I had a bottle of Maraschino, I'd probably be making a Similar Face 8 right now, out of sheer morbid curiosity. Without the creme de cacao it's basically a tequila Corpse Reviver #2 Similar Face 15 thru 20 (Similar Face 19 is mistakenly labeled 29) are the ones I'm most fascinated by and will probably be trying this weekend if I can find any passion fruit. Similar Face 21 Is, in all likelyhood, actually a decent drink. I drink something similar all the time, and I'd suggest an extremely dark demerara rum, or spiced rum, and possibly up the ratios of amaretto and cranberry to taste. Under no circumstances should you make Similar Face 26 or 27. BTW, I've been trying to figure out a Ted Crews cocktail, but in all honestly I keep coming back to a (Cruzan) rum and coke, garnished with a hot dog, I'll keep working on it. Cheers, & the ette is french. It rhymes with casette.
