Surprisingly good, but I made an unintended modification (perhaps subconsciously), using 1/2 oz of simple syrup rather than the called for 1/4. I had feared that Salers known drying effect would be too much with the 3/4 ounce of lemon, since the Dimmi is balanced between sweet and bitter. The inadvertent use of 1/2 oz simple syrup resulted in a very balanced drink, with the floral (apricot and citrus blossom) of the Dimmi, some gentiane/wormwood bitterness. The flavor/aroma are reminiscent of Aveze in some ways.
