Powerful leather taste. Might benefit from a tiny addition of peaty scotch or smoky mezcal to take it to the next level.

  • Decent but disappointing. Mostly tasted like lemon juice. I'd dial that back.
  • I tweaked it to make it less sour. Also made the dram a full 1 cl. Very good drink. 1 cl Lemon juice 1 cl Allspice Dram — ★★★★

Very tasty drink. You can taste the Frangelico but it is very nicely set off by the tangy/bitter flavors.  Will make again.

Subbed Bulleit Rye, freshly squeezed grapefruit and Karl Strauss Wreck Alley Stout, OMG this cocktail's YUM!!!!

Great cocktail, subbed Cynar for the Averna & Old Rasputin for the Guinness, worked well.  Great winter drink.

This is really fun and different. Averna is my new favorite ingredient. It's great on its own, but I could almost imagine making a vanilla ice cream float out of this drink for a mind-blowing dessert.
