  • A little too sweet for my liking, the flavours are a bit miss-matched, which starts herbally and ends smoky. Might be better if made with dry vermouth instead.

HallA commented on 10/28/2023:

Don't love it. I think the "dash" of agave is a weird measure for a sweetener and did not balance the acid enough in my drink. I would go up to a full bsp of agave.. Maybe if you're using pineapple juice from concentrate or dole that's sweeter it would help more.
