  • Added muddled jalapeno to great effect; served w/ large cube
  • I like it without simple syrup. Fav summer drink of the wife! She uses Buffalo Trace.
  • I knew I would love this, didn't realize how much! ***** I added 1 bsp float of Creme de Violette. I disagree with other comments - increase the floral palette and run with it! — ★★★★★
  • Nice cocktail. I split the bourbon (50% 101 WT, 50% reg WT). Could benefit from infusing jalapeno in the bourbon to further balance the sweetness. — ★★★★★
  • Enjoyable. Good use of our fresh bluberries, but seemed to lack some mid-palate depth. Will try adding some bitters (?) next time blueberries are in season.
  • Back down the elder to 1/2oz
