  • Its good, but the Absinthe seems a bit too strong and contrasts with the grapefruit and campari bittnerness.

Very nice, Scott, and I love the name. I used Obsello absinthe.

Final version. This is the one done for MxMo as this month it's Tiki's. Also slightly updated the Castaway for it as well.

Got gifted a bottle of Limoncello so I thought I'd give it a shot. It's nicely balanced and I liked the addition of the chocolate bitters, but I'm just not a limoncello fan; if you are you'd probably love this.

EmilyGin commented on 1/10/2016:

Just tried this. Was tasty but reminded me vaguely of a tootsie roll!

 

justinwarner commented on 10/27/2018:

I second the tootsie roll comment. It's a pretty decent drink though.

Aviation__1952 commented on 2/26/2020:

  • Superb. Tastes a bit like an Aviation.
  • Had low expectations (Drambuie and kirschwasser sometimes leave me cold) but this was pretty good. Quite sweet.

Made with Torres 10 and a bit more than 1/4 of homemade white creme de cacao. I like, but would maybe add the smallest splash of syrup. My liqueur might not be as sweet as store bought
