This is indeed fantastic. It starts off with the refreshing lime and bitter Campari, takes a brief detour through light smoke, and finishes with sweet Pamplemousse and herbal agave. Complex and delicious.

This is fantastic. Especially liked what the pamplemousse liqueur brought to the mixture. Was a tiny bit short and made up the difference with maraschino liqueur.☆☆☆☆☆♡
