It's definitely tasty and I would drink it again, but as the other comment says it's nothing too special. I'm not sure that the passion fruit syrup makes a whole lot of difference.

  • A Mexican Sazerac.
  • I rinsed rather than misted with the chartreuse, and that proved too strong. Somehow I get "fruity" flavors alongside the expected herbal notes. — ★★★

lesliec commented on 1/11/2017:

I could read 1/2 oz 'agave syrup 1:1 with water' as either a half or a quater oz of each. Tasting the drink, I think it's supposed to be 1/2 oz total - in other words, 1/4 of each. Pleasant drink, though.

  • Excellent! Made with chocolate bitters and nonino instead of Brovo #14. Can't match the simplicity of the normal Cynar flip but is definitely more interesting.
  • Tried with laphroaig. Ardbeg would most likely be better?
  • Fabulous. Rich, smoky, bitter, with hints of chocolate and herbs.

Perhaps Lazarroni? Maybe with some muddled cacao nibs?  Thanks,  Zachary
