  • Solid with a nice complexity and bitterness but not deeply memorable or remarkable.
  • Pretty good, though the flavors didn't quite come together for me. Might be because I used ri(1) instead of Rittenhouse.

Very good. Maybe a touch sweet for my taste. I was tempted to try a touch of Lactart in it. Do you really mean to serve this in a highball? The glass will be about 2/3 empty. (Cocktail moderated slightly for style.)
