The way that I created this

The way that I created this was with kümmel. I also noted that the recipe written that way was best with a lighter style kümmel (a liqueur unlike aquavit which is a spirit) like Helbing. When I made it at work at River Bar in Somerville, MA, with the more potent Combier Kümmel, I needed to cut this to 1/4 oz (you can replace the rest with a 1/4 oz simple if desired or leave it out to be less sweet).

Fred - Got it. The OP had adapted your drink and I reverted it to your specs. I even got the kummel right in the note but not in the drink, so it's fixed now. Thanks, Zachary
