  • I didn't care for this. It's drinkable but I would not make this again. If I were looking for an after-dinner espresso based cocktail I would go for something like an espresso martini.

  • Too sweet for me, whether I swap between white or red grapefruit juice. Easy to drink, but not a balanced celebration of bitterness or Amaro unless you normally drink solely dessert cocktails. For the best chance at balance, use a Navy-Strength gin and do a scant 1/4-oz. pour of the cinnamon syrup. — ★★★

bkemp1984 commented on 11/19/2022:

Only dark spirit I had was Laird's and it was really good. I should have used a more bitter vermouth instead of Cocchi Dopo Teatro since I was using applejack, but still really good. Used PF Dry instead of Grand Marnier.

Cara A commented on 7/24/2024:

I only had triple sec; still very tasty. Bourbon + amaro + vermouth + citrus - what’s not to like?
