  • sherry overwhelms - cut in half
  • Out of bourbon so used Rittenhouse. Sherry dominated. To counter it, I added .25 oz Cynar & .5 oz more rye. Yum! I prefer the drink to be a bit bigger anyways, since it's mostly lower proof spirits. Can't get "I'M A MF'IN SPY BOY!" out of my head now tho.

  • Made with homemade gin-based Umeshu. Better with a traditional one, I'll bet and maybe another bitters. In any case, this is a great long drink.

  • Really nice tiki drink. Made this because we didn't have the allspice dram to make Three Dots and a Dash, but still wanted to make a drink that uses passion fruit pulp. — ★★★★★

Excellent, herbal, funky, fruity. Used passion fruit syrup cause I had no pulp and it's still great.
