  • Huge and too sweet. I wonder if just skipping the agave would improve this. I do think there's promise in the flavor combination.

  • My wife was at 4.5 and would have been a 5 with a pretty garnish. I agree with the lime reduction. 1/2 seemed right. — ★★★★
  • A little too much lime. I would adjust lime juice down to 1/2 oz or up the rest. But promising.
  • Excellent!

  • This has some good bones, but needs work. I ended up adding 1/4 oz demerara to try to save it. It was better, but still not great.
  • Smokey and bitter. Maybe the up the lime?
