  • Similar to Norma Jean (bitter herbs/lemon/sweet). I might slightly prefer the Gin/Cynar combo, but this is quite tasty as well.

Had to try this just because of the name. I like it, though it seems like the Cynar gets lost. I gave it a 3, mainly because blackstrap always comes off a little odd to me.

efullerton commented on 2/02/2015:

I liked this quite a bit, the bourbon and ginger are a natural combination. I found it a bit tart as written though, I might pull back on the lemon juice a bit next time.

flickerdart commented on 2/18/2022:

Made with Evan Williams 2013 bourbon, King's Ginger, 2:1 gomme syrup, and Bitter Truth aromatic bitters. The tart and sweet are well balanced, but I wish the ginger would come through more. Next time I might swap the syrup for more ginger, or muddle a slice of ginger root.
