Review

You'll need to appreciate kummel to enjoy this long-lost classic. However, if you do, the only question is, do you like this cocktail with more or less Scotch whisky?

Shared it with my boyfriend, so bumped it up to 30 ml each. We thought it was a little bit sweet, so added 10 ml of Scotch, and that did the trick!

Kummel is the most sexiest of liqueurs. It can do no wrong ;)

This is the much better of the Alice Mine variants, but is still... just ok.

I used Monkey Shoulder, Gilka, and Mancino Rosso.
