  • Not great as listed. Added 0.5 oz Campari. Bittersweet with spicy finish, but Ben. kinda getting lost. Fiddling.

Comments

Made this and thought it was disgusting--too sweet and no complexity. Added maybe a little less than an ounce of bourbon to one and rye to the other and it was actually pretty good.

Made a 1/2 scale recipe of this one.  It is very sweet. Used two dashes Angostura.  It was pretty spicy, kind of reminded me of cinnamon cough syrup or something. It probably needs a little something to take some of the sweet edge off of it to be really good, but it was alright.  Might play around with it some more.
