Delicious. I'm not sure if the name warrants having to measure 3/8 of an oz 3 times, but the flavor of the drink is spectacular enough to keep making this one

  • Very nice. Subbed .25 Cynar 70 and .25 Gran Marnier for the 3/8 CioCiaro. Used Dewars. This makes a pretty big drink...could reduce total volume a bit.
  • Excellent. I just did 1/2 and did not bother with 3/8 nonsense.

Worth toning the scotch down to 2 oz to allow the other contributors to shine through.
