I wanted to name this drink after Lorena Wood, but I kept slipping up and saying Lorena Bobbit. We're a family restaurant, and that just wasn't going to fly, so I changed it.

  • Tasty, purple grape-juice flavor, though I might prefer the "cleaner" taste of a Bramble. — ★★★★
  • Really good - maybe lessen the amount of allspice dram — ★★★★★

Like the name and the concept of this drink.  I made a "version" of it with muddled dark brown sugar, plum bitters, and blackberries.  And just shook the lemon, bourbon, and honey syrup (no allspice dram on hand).  I was quite pleased with the way it turned out.  I really like drinks that turn out deep purple in color like this one did.

Did not like the agave syrup. Either use less or try different sweetener.

I like it. I'll make it again but might tweak it... Feels like its missing just a touch of something. I will freely admint that I do not have irish whisky instock so I subbed in a 50/50 burbon/rye mix.

Might try bitters? a touch of lemon?
