  • Wow! Excellent use of Cynar. I used Ardmore peated and a quarter oz of absinthe instead of wormwood biters.

Comments

Wow! Smoky nose, tastes exactly like chinotto soda. Used Peychaud's due to extreme lack of bottles for the moment.

Surprised I haven't tried this one before.  Have a few bottles of Lap 10 that I'm looking to work down, and stumbled upon this.  It's quite good.  As the previous commenter mentioned, this is similar to Chinotto (though with a metallic, ashy finish to me).
