Used Astral tequila and Amer dit Picon from Golden Moon. It's way less sugary than Amer Picon (so I've read) so I added two barspoons of simple. Liked a lot, might do 1/2 Amer next time.

Archmonk commented on 9/03/2017:

I didn't have clear Curacao so I used my blue Curacao and the color is awesome. The liquid glows a greenish color that looks like a drink out of an H.P. Lovecraft book. Love the taste too. I'd genuinely suggest subbing the peychaud's bitters for absinthe (personal preference).

Dan commented on 9/05/2017:

A complex if worthy variation on what is often a crappy soda pop-forward cocktail. I used Becherovka for cinnamon and King's for ginger, plus used tonic. It was good enough to make again for guests.

Dannynannady commented on 1/12/2019:

Have always wanted to make a whacky drink like this with a load of ingredients, even went through the trouble of making my own syrups... and I was NOT disappointed!

I'm just a bit unsure as to what "(fat)" refers to?? I just used the amounts of lemon/lime juice stated.

 

Zachary Pearson commented on 1/13/2019:

"fat" here means a little more than, so be a little generous when you hit the 1/4 ounce mark. Thanks,  Zachary

Dannynannady commented on 4/11/2020:

I know this reply is a bit late but thanks for the clarification! :)
