  • One thing I'd recommend doing: a dash of Peychaud's. One variation I'd recommend: swap the Canton for aquavit or kümmel.

  • Good, but I might play around with the vermouth a bit -- perhaps swapping out the Cocchi for Carpano Antica.

Excellent. I also did this with rye instead of bourbon, on the rocks, finished with 3 drops of lemon juice. In a smaller shot format, would you call this Great Shott?

  • Made with jack daniels honey. Not bad, but a bit sweet for before dinner
  • Not having brandy, we made it with Hennessy cognac. Norm liked it very well. Dar thinks it's too sweet or, perhaps, unbalanced. Might try with higher ratio of brandy/cognac. — ★★★★

3 of my favourite ingredients combined. The honey comes through, definitely, backed up by the spices in the Becherovka. My wife thought it tasted of "Grandma's Cough Syrup" but I really liked this one. 5 stars.
