  • That's a lot of Angostura!
  • I wonder if a little sweetener of some kind would make it even better. — ★★★★
  • Not bitter, just bracingly dry and refreshing. Long finish. More-ish.

Comments

unique, not too bitter, almost savory but definitely needs a hint of sweet to balance and enhance flavors. I added 1/2 falernum to soften and keep the spice going with 2 dashes celery bitters to maintain the savory. Worth continuing to experiment.
