  • I'm in the minority of reviews here, but I found this to be an unbalanced mess. Cinnamon-grapefruit certainly has synergy - it's a well known flavor combo in the Tiki world. Grapefruit-Cynar similarly has a lot of accolades. But I found the cinnamon-grapefruit-Cynar-tequila quintet to be too many cooks in the kitchen. Don't get me wrong; it's eminently drinkable. It's just...a bit overwrought, in terms of how many touches vs. the quality of the end result. — ★★
  • Fabulous! Grapefruit & cinnamon are a great combo. Agree with other commenters on reducing cinnamon syrup to 1/4 oz, and finishing with a mezcal spritz.
  • Nice combo, but cinnamon dominates. I lowered cinnamon to 1/4 oz which was better. I also added 1/2 oz mezcal cuz I like it a bit smoky ;)
  • Agree with others about reducing the cinnamon syrup.
  • A bit too spiced.
  • Intense cinnamon. I might cut back a tad, add more grapefruit somehow. This goes into summer rotation...
  • Tequila- bitter, sour, cinnamon
  • Made with Becherovka in place of cinnamon syrup. Grapefruit predominates. Terrific zingy finish. ETA: great with cinnamon syrup too! — ★★★★★
