Glasswared recommendation? Seems like the kind of drink that could languish on a big cube for a while.

I used Dolin because no CAF on hand. Surprisingly tart. I almost wondered if Zwack Liqueur was intended, but knowing the poster, I'm sure it's not. The tartness balances the bitterness. Interesting and worth making, especially if you like out-of-the-box cocktails. The lime is particularly surprising. Also, the grapefruit aroma was lovely.

CAF is so bold that I would expect less lime would work better with Dolin here. I ran out of Unicum long ago but I'm glad you liked this one!
