Pretty much concur with the review. However, it should be without ice and in a highball glass, as per the fizz rules.

it is a good drink but the taste of the peppermint liquor is a overly dominant taste when (in my opinion) it should be complementing all the other ingredients in the drink. i would recommend changing it to 1/6 ounce instead of a 1/4 ounce to be more complementary.
