Surprisingly sophisticated and easy to drink. I’ll definitely make this one again!

This is a fun one. Made with Bacardi 8, Jager, Domaine De Canton, Liber & Co orgeat, Peychaud's bitters. Everything is well balanced. All of the non-Jager ingredients do a good job of "taming" the Jager. I'm not a huge licorice/anise fan and I like this drink, fwiw. Overall smooth, complex, and easy drinking.
