Nice. Orangey and spicy and yes, a little syrupy. But a good sipper.

We really enjoyed this...but think it works better with a Vermouth Amaro, such as Cocchi. This avoids the vanilla that intrudes too much on too many Italian Rosso Vermouths.

Funny- I happened to use Cocchi vermouth amaro because I have that instead of Vermouth di Torino right now. I did use the Eel Bar recipe with just 2oz vermouth rather than 2.5, and used ypioca aged cachaca in place of agricole rhum. I do quite like it.

Really tasty. A little on the syrupy side, but otherwise a solid drink.

Agree on the syrupy comment. Might drop to 2oz and a touch more salt. Still intrigues me.

Maybe even better than the Gin version. Adorable!

Pretty cool drink. The vermouth definitely doesn't drown out the other ingredients. You get the grassy notes from the rhum up front, followed by sweet orange from the curacao and some spice from the Ango in the mid palate, with the vermouth finishing it all off. Definitely a try-once at least.

Pretty awful. Nothing against sweet vermouth but don't waste the other ingredients by drowning them.
