a bit sweet, but very good
Good use of Drambuie; far more interesting than a Rusty Nail. — ★★★★

Ha! I watched this exact episode just last night!... No Drambuie though, I'm gonna have to try the Cynar version.

"And I suppose that makes it better?"

"Do you not?"

Bevx commented on 8/20/2013:

Okay so, due to a dwindling Cynar supply, I went a different (if obvious) route and subbed Barenjager for the Drambuie. Good, but maybe a bit sweet this way. The OFW worked with the honey flavors very nicely, though. I may try adding a drop or 2 to my next Bee's Knees or Metamorphosis!

"It's a bad picture, Pam."

DrunkLab commented on 8/21/2013:

OFW + honey is a thing of beauty. I adjusted the ratios here somewhat after making another and also finding it too sweet.

Archer quote, wait, I... I had something for this.
