  • Made with R&W apricot, 1 oz lemon juice, and 3/4 oz Strega. Balance seemed pretty good. — ★★★★
  • Added more lemon juice per comment as using R&W, but dominated by Lemon and Strega.
  • Lots of interesting flavors, although Strega dominates. Might reduce Strega to 3/4oz to let other flavors though. — ★★★★
