  • Okay as written. More interesting with 1 tsp St. George NOLA, pinch of salt, and scant dash of grapefruit bitters.

This is a level up in complexity from the Mercy, Mercy!

Very nice. Quite similar to Kyle Davidson's The Dry Season, but with the addition of bitters and slightly different proportions of the liqueurs.
