  • Subbed ginger liqueur (New Deal) for syrup & added 1/8 oz maple syrup, scaled lemon back to a fat half.
  • Very nice and ginger forward — ★★★★★
  • Easy drinking. Summery. Might go a touch lighter with the lemon juice next time. Used rosemary rather than mint and wasn't sorry.
  • A lot going on, almost to the point of being overdone. Nonetheless, a tasty drink.
  • Made with standard proof bourbon, Cointreau, mint. Lots of different flavors; perhaps the ginger syrup was a touch outspoken. Would be worth returning to with rosemary I think. — ★★★★

bvankammen commented on 12/20/2017:

Good drink.  Dry, punchy, almost bubble gum-y.  It is similar in quality to the "Dangerous Liaisons" in the Death and Co. book, a significant improvement over the brandy version ("Happy Honey") in the Dale DeGroff book.  But not as good as the "original"--the Brown Derby, made with bourbon.
