Tried with Frangelico, but much smoother and more melodious with Amaretto. I recommend not using Disaronno though- in order to avoid the syrupy sweetness, Amaretto di Toscana is the perfect amaretto to use here. True flavor, thin, and gives that nutty taste the drink wants to highlight.

Bought a bottle of Frangelico hazelnut liqueur and decided to try this cocktail. Sitting in the garden on a hot summers night the cocktail had a distinctive cake flavour with lemon undertones - quite delicious ?

Ok tried this and liked it, though swapped the hazelnut for amaretto… delicious! Reminds me a lot of the Enzoni. I wonder if the lemon juice could be substituted for grapefruit or something as there’s already limoncello…

Fruity, yet balanced and well-weighted with just enough spirituous bite. Rum acts as a base while gin lightens and lifts.
