  • I was craving something with Zucca and this was perfect. I had no cranberry liqueur however, so I subbed in Pama for the tart fruit liqueur. It worked well also.

Comments

4+ more like a 4.5. I could even see giving it a 5 just for the simple (equal parts), effective and innovative combination of components which blend together seamlessly. The Clear Creek Cranberry is a component I have wanted to circle back to, in order to find what really works with it--I didn't have Zucca on my bingo card for that. The sherry provides some wine-base depth.
