If you have a bottle of Dimmi, I can't think of a better use for it. Cynar and grapefruit are awesome together, and the Dimmi augments the grapefruit flavor as St. Germain would, but with much less sweetness.

Tasty, but that's really an excessive quantity of honey. Made with overproof bourbon & it was still too much.

Mighty tasty! I added a couple dashes of grapefruit bitters to poke a little fun at the allspice, and added an amarena cherry for garnish because, well, why not?

Biff Malibu commented on 1/04/2023:

One barspoon of allspice dram didn't really assert itself in the face of 2 oz of High West Double Rye - maybe two barspoons.
