  • Used 3/4 oz of each ingredient to decrease the sweetness a bit. Delicious. — ★★★★★
  • Good, but maybe dominated a bit by the Gran Classico
  • Sweet but complex. Very interesting and unique; haven't had another cocktail that tastes quite like it
  • Great flavor - a bit too sweet. Perhaps a less sweet amaro than Gran Classico? Or a mixture of GC and, say, Ramazotti?
  • Tasty. A little on the sweet side perhaps? Might want to find a less sweet aromatized wine next time.

Delicious if you like gran classico. The aquavit winks through on the finish.
