  • Did not have nocino, so omitted that, but used 3 dashes of black walnut bitters rather than angostura. Still really good.
  • Subbed Bornholmer Dram Sevablødda for cinnammon syrup. An excellent stirred cocktail.
  • Made it with what I had on hand: had to sub in Woodford reserve and Carpano Antica....very enjoyable....but best of all when the chill had faded and the nocino came into focus, so lovely!

Very nice autumnal flavors. Sub'd 1/2 oz Becherovka for cinnamon syrup.

Mmm, very tasty. Made it with apple cider syrup and topped with Black Walnut & WBA bitters.

I knocked the syrup down to 1 tsp and it's pretty darn tasty.

Made up on the fly for a guest who wanted "Fall in a glass" with Bourbon base (to replace a Bourbon drink we could no longer make from a previous season due to a specialty syrup).
