This Flamingo's not pink but it is suited to a couple of dashes Creole-style bitters that impart a slight red tinge.

Whilst the review does mention the Peychaud's bitters (as another comment of yours promises!), I think you forgot to update the recipe too. Going to go and make one of these now...

Thanks, Chris. I've now added bitters to the recipe.

On the edge of great/good-ness?... Used 99 Bananas again... Begged for sweetness; added 1/4 oz 1:1 turbinado syrup. Got it closer... Wild Turkey was nice in this, but does the overall expression need an overproof whiskey to make it excel?

Agreed, better with bottled-in-bond rye. I found dashes of Peychaud's also beneficial so have updated the recipe and review accordingly.
