  • Very good - love the berbere use. I subbed in a pepper infused vodka, a bit of ss, and a spray of Laphroaig for the Ancho. Must try w/ Ancho when I get it.
  • for Ryan and Jackie
  • Go heavier on the pinches of berbere.

Not bad, but a little blah with honey syrup. Maybe cinnamon syrup or Donn's #2?

laerm commented on 1/07/2018:

[edit of a duplicate comment]

Used 1:1 honey syrup, likely changes a lot based on the honey. A lightly sweet whisky sour variation. Added some lavender as a garnish which worked nicely.
