From other users
  • Complex, spicy, smoky. Nice festive zing.
  • Boozy, but balanced. Everything plays well in this one. Cheers!
  • Death and Co.
  • Death and Co. uses two dashes mole bitters, but I usually find 2 dashes overwhelming
  • Smoky, with good balance of sweetness
  • Dry and complex as was mentioned. Well balanced for a drinker down with smoke (I used Vida).

I did an absinthe rinse and added orange bitters. Really like it,
