  • Sub CioCiaro for the Ramazzotti
  • Made with Evan Williams, and an orange twist. Likeable. In the Red Hook neighborhood. Maraschino might've been a little too prominent.
  • Very dry

  • Solid drink & a great way to use two items in my bar that I rarely use. I substituted simple syrup for the honey.
  • Reminds me of a Last Word variation... I used Brennivin instead of Aquavit, and felt that the carraway flavor was lost a bit so I upped it to 1 1/2 oz.
  • Complex and balanced.

  • Elegant but a little too dry for my taste. Added barspoon of St Germain to lend sweetness and flavour; drink is still fairly dry but for me much improved.

  • Balsamic, strawberry, and cognac flavors up front, with elderflower liqueur present after the initial hit of flavor. It's interesting; you need to be in the mood for a flavor bomb though - the upfront sweetness is intense, followed by that raisin-y, sharp vinegar tang on the finish. Cinnamon, to my palate, is mostly lost in the mix here. — ★★★★
  • A little sweet but very good!! — ★★★★★
  • Beautiful, delicious, and interesting. I served this up and liked it quite a lot that way.
  • Spice and sweetness. — ★★★★

I topped this with a little club soda and, for me, it worked to open it up a bit.

noksagt commented on 8/21/2016:

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.
