  • Tastes like a brunch drink to me (though not low ABV). I wonder if a touch of lemon juice would buttress the acidity a bit.

  • Very nice. Bracingly tart, disarmlingly complex, and just sweet enough. Nothing but the lemon is immediately recognizable but it's all there.

  • Used Gomme syrup instead of simple for no reason other than - as long as I'm grabbing Byrrh, Bokers, and Zirbenz SPL, why go as simple as simple?

Did not taste balanced to me as written. Maybe my lime was particularly bitter, but it overwhelmed the drink in a not-pleasant, pith-tasting kind of way. I ended up amending with more Heering and a tiny amount of Simple to make it palatable to me.


Excellent, but I slightly altered the recipe as I have learned that the equal parts drinks with lime or lemon are often too tart, particularly when they are at their coldest. I used 1/2+ ounce of lime as I thought that would be about right against the Cherry Heering. For me the Zucca is the right way to go here vs. Sfumato, as Zucca provides a gentler smokiness. The result was a savory mesquite BBQ flavor and nose. I was amazed by the transformation of this much Cherry Heering into a completely different essence. [Others wanting a drier or more assertive drink should try the called 3/4 oz of lime, and/or Sfumato.)
