When I first saw this I was thinking it would be very sweet, since the standard Licor Beirão is quite sweet. Then I looked up this particular bottling, Beirão D’Honra, which adds a brandy to up the proof and knock the sweetness down a notch. I don't have it to experiment with (or rhubarb syrup for that matter) but I do have the standard Licor Beirão. I swear, the standard Licor Beirão has the essence of cake frosting, which, while not unpleasant, is a challenge for cocktails.
