Very nice drink. Tart and vanilla-forward, although I might bump the grapefruit up to 0.75 Oz, as I felt it was getting a bit lost. Bitters are essential to add character as well, and different options might work equally well.

On my all time favourites list- the Licor 43 is so sweet it doesn't warrant 5ml of rich syrup- maybe just a dash. Great to experiment with different bitters.

This was very nice. Added some cherry bark bitters and elevated it just a bit.

What an excellent cocktail. Licor 43 and the citrus juices blend perfectly together. Difford's Daquiri Bitters help put it over the top. New one for my favourites.

Every Home Bar should have Licor 43. Pulls everything together like nutmeg does in sauces. Real pleasant with a silky mouth feel. 43 and Rum go together like a "hug and a kiss"
