  • Weird back palate dryness from the ancho and habanero shrub along with the sour and the heat and a savory note. Evolves and more complex as you hold it in the mouth and as you get used to it.

Notes

The sherry vinegar. I found this particular "high performance" version a few years ago and it really makes a difference. You don't want "vinegar." Rather, you want a very flavorful Sherry Vinegar.

  • Good but quite sweet as written. Careful with a sweeter coffee liqueur. I made with Pierre Ferrand Orange Curacao as initial recipe called for Grand Marnier but might be better with Cointreau as it would be a little more drying.

As noted, too sweet as written. Added three dashes of Angostura bitters and it cut the sweetness enough for me to really enjoy it.
