  • Maraschino is the strongest note, then lime, then angostura. Very easy and sweet, though I wonder how it would work with bourbon. — ☆☆☆
  • This drink actually goes back to the Savoy cocktail book, but without lime. As written here it is quite nice. — ☆☆☆
  • Mixed the "modern" version. Surprising that the little bit of maraschino comes forward. — ☆☆☆
