  • I found this drink to be quaffable but not memorable. I think some of the issue is with name recognition - if "cognac, rye, Amaro Nonino" means nothing to you on a menu, then this is a pretty delicious drink. But if you know what cognac, rye, and Amaro Nonino taste like individually, I feel like this drink doesn't celebrate any of those base ingredients. Maybe there's something clever about the "carpenters" reference I'm missing that makes this drink more of an in-joke or cheeky concoction. As-is...it's another case of too many touches for too little benefit. — ★★★
  • Complex, refreshing, well balanced — ★★★★

  • 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?
