This one was very surprising. I think the multi-liquor concoctions work better with more dilution than the old fashioned template offers...especially for initial enjoyment.
I made this with ingredients that I enjoy sipping straight (red breast, rutte old simon, espalon, paul masson vsop) , but it was pretty terrible initially: overly sweet and funky in a bad way. 1-starred it.
As the rock melted, it finally opened up and mingled & became much more approachable. It became a great sipper. Changed to a 3 star, though considered higher.
I'd make again, but would probably eschew the template by adding a bit of water or soda from the get go. And cut the demerara syrup.
