  • Well-balanced. Maybe slightly too sweet. The paprika really makes it. Don’t stint there or with the sage. — ★★★★
  • Surprisingly good, but still not something I want to have a whole drink of.
  • Try Laphroig instead of paprika?

Comments

Really liked this despite using a leaf too much sage. Too chicken to use that much paprika IN the drink so lightly garnished with a pinch instead, pretty happy with this one. Definitely one to make for any health nut friends you might have.
