As the ice melts, dilution opens and amplifies this spirit-forward, piney, bittersweet, delicately nutty cocktail.

Nice golden color, clear - looks good in the glass. Boozy hot at the first sip, followed immediately with an overly complexe herbal/spicy assault on your tongue - I think the Strega notes (specifically the anise) stand out the most, but there is so much going on that it is excessive. Oh well.

Hmm. I've had the original with Abano & really like it. I'll have to try this version now. Nice!

So, this is *not* one of those “better than the sum of its parts” cocktails.

It’s just…meh.

Had this as an after-dinner cocktail. Was perfect. Loved the hint of hazelnut and the mixture of the other ingredients. Slightly sweet, but perfect after a good dinner. Would also be great as a later evening cocktail.
