Curated this a bit - removed the simple syrup instructions from the recipe - it was seriously line breaky.

This drink seems really really sweet to me - it might have a lot of lime flavor from bitters and the syrup, but it looks like it's out of balance. Maybe Dan should take a swing at it for us ;)

Thanks,

Zachary

You're killing me with you stash of Unicum. Next you'll be posting Malort recipes.

You should head down to New York and pick up a bottle. Unicum tastes like it used to steal Fernet's lunch money, and a liter goes for the same price as a fifth of Fernet.

Very nice. Warmth and spice from the Sorel complements the smoke and fruit from the tequila, with the other liqueurs adding orange and wine notes. The balance isn't as sweet as it looks on paper. I would cut back on the tequila a bit as it can dominate.

Somewhere between 3 and 3.5 as written. Sorel's clove/cinnamon/hibiscus is at the forefront, but a bit dry due to the acidity, which seems to overpower the rest of the drink. Sorel is only moderately sweet, making it difficult to balance in equal parts with lemon. For my tastes I will likely retry w/ 1/2 oz lemon juice, while upping the Cocchi Americano to 3/4. The Cocchi is lost at 1/2, so a bit more could add some desired breadth to the flavor.
