  • Use 1/3 oz agave syrup
  • Did not have Galliano so subbed almost a half ounce of Licor 43 with absinthe to make the full half ounce. No agave or sweetener used. Crude (NC) tiki bitters. — ★★★★★
  • Sub Velvet Falernum for agave, will use 1/2 oz next time b/c a tad sweet, otherwise amazing. Will also try w/ salt rim & float star anise pod. 1 spritz absinthe in shaker, 1 more in glass upon serving. — ★★★★★
  • Really pretty amazing. Galliano and rum with tequila and mezcal seemed very risky but what an incredible result. I used agave nectar instead of syrup as per other comment.
  • Great mix between tiki and spicy agave flavors
  • Outstanding. Seems to please those who want something bright and summery as well those who want something with heft.
  • This has a lot of great elements. I have found it's a little sweet though. One person commented that they used agave nectar, not syrup. Maybe helps or cut to 1/4 oz syrup.
  • Excellent - garnished with mint leaves. Used: Herradura Resposado, Del Maguey Vida, Santiago de Cuba Anejo Rum, Lucid absinthe. Also agave nectar, not syrup

So sour that the lime seems to cover most other flavors unfortunately, although what's left would still be pleasant to cool down on a hot day.
Increasing Crème de Cacao to a full 1oz improves the balance slightly and lets the flavor rise a little above the sour lime.

This is both compelling and weird. Kudos.

White Oak Propeller

3⁄4 oz Old Tom Gin (A barrel aged version)
3⁄4 oz Bianco Vermouth
3⁄4 oz Amaro Nonino
3⁄4 oz Aperol
Instructions

Shake, strain into a chilled coupe. No garnish.

Notes

You must used a barrel aged gin (I used Breuckelen) to get that oak in there. A light style Old Tom like Hayman's will not work. Dolin Blanc, though wonderful, is not the best fit here, use a more savory style like Contratto.

Curated this slightly - moved the long notes from the body of the drink to the notes section, so it doesn't blow out line breaks. Changed 3 2/5 oz vermouth to 3/4 - I'm guessing this is what you want to meet the Paper Airplane? Thanks,  Zachary

Left me feeling a bit flat. The gin (I used Botanist) just overpowered the Nonino and Apricot. Ok, but unremarkable.
