  • This is delicious! I made an oleo-saccharum instead of the demerara simple and lemon juice one time. It's also really good that way. Used a cava. — ★★★★★

  • Not bad, but a bit heavy on the mezcal. Maybe a less smoky one, although I love Vida. Also, what's up with the apple? Not complaining, just curious...

  • I put in half the curry power and used a home-made Malay curry (the amount you need will vary enormously). I thought this was really nice and not overpowered.
  • Gin- sweet, spice

Tastes like you're drinking a curry dish. Not complex enough
