Simple 3 part recipe, easy to scale down/up. Nice bright red color, red fruit/berry flavor with some baking spice impression (impact of Byrrh and bourbon, I believe). Moderate bourbon flavors as well, with slight boozy heat. Very nice cocktail, especially for winter holidays, but fruit is refreshing enough I could enjoy this in warmer months as well.

Went with a 10 yr old Bottled-in-Bond Bourbon, which may have added more "depth" to it. The Bourbon and Dubonnet complemented each other. Bourbon was up front and the Dubonnet present at the finish. Cranberry was not very prominent. I can see this more as a fall season type cocktail ( I may add a little bit of Allspice Dram for more of a fall feel), but this was actually very enjoyable as listed.

Balanced but lacks depth. Garnish is key.

A rye whiskey and maple syrup sour served short and straight-up. You'd perhaps have expected this cocktail to be more drawn out.
