  • Potentially interesting to combine Salers with Tequila
  • Lovely amber color. Citrus nose but a bit of cherry or pickled plum on sip, and strong (but not heavy) bittersweet chocolate finish. — ★★★★★

  • Sumac vodka is an interesting ingredient. Extremely astringent. The drink is well balanced and interesting.
  • I'd consider upping the vodka to 1 1/2 oz, but I like a stiff drink.

  • very good!
  • Too strong for me
  • 4/23/20: Too much Chartreuse for me.
  • Yet to Try
  • At first a bit too Campari forward, but opens up and tastes great over time

Also works well with 1/4 chartreuse for those who aren't fans. I added the remaining bsp of fernet and it gave the expected minty oomph that was also a nice variation
