  • Delicious! We subbed a lemon oleo-saccharum for the simple, served up, with grated unsweetened (bakers’) chocolate as garnish. This is going on the “Crowd Pleasers” list :) — ★★★★★
  • I didn't have cinnamon tincture so I used cardamom bitters. Delicious! It would be OK to dial the sweetness back a little.

  • The astringency from the rooibos is really nice although I couldn't really get mine red enough.

lesliec commented on 1/24/2022:

This doesn't seem quite there yet. I assumed whiskey with a 'e' didn't mean Scotch so used Evan Williams bourbon. To me it's a little flat and metallic - some expressed orange zest helped. Maybe reduce the absinthe and go for a non-Punt vermouth?

This is great. Bitter suze, with a hint of piney freshness. I'll have to try adding a little more next time. The sloe gin and orange flower water are dominant flavors.
