  • Love this combination. Tested with a few different rums, but the Smith & Cross came out the best. It really lets the Cynar shine.
  • Used Averna instead of Cynar. Relatively sweet. Might lower the orgeat.
  • Dominated by bitterness and sweetness. Odd but not in an intriguing way.
  • Made to the original spec, with pistachio orgeat. Quite liked this, a nice finish. Pineapple flavors along with the expected burnt sugar and bitter. — ★★★★

Tried many times but with different ratio, well shaken and served on rocks and liked it:

1 3/4 Smith, 1 oz lime, 1/3 elderflower, 1/4 orgeat, 1/2 Cynar
