Thanks a lot!... This is one of those rare ones where I felt I nailed it on the first try... Which was fortuitous, since I was down to my last lemon!... Originally, I'd planned on Green Chartreuse as the modifier, but as I was reaching past the Cynar for it, I decided on a last-minute change. Glad I did, as the vegetal Cynar plays off the smoky tea wonderfully.
