Not quite sweet enough for me, and i think it needs to be served with a straw with the angostura float but otherwise an excellent cocktail

Agreed. Thanks. I've added an instruction to serve with a straw.

This was very nice indeed. I used Del Maguey Vida and Worthy Park 109 and homemade orgeat instead of the liqueur. A lot of big flavours, mellowed by the crushed ice. The chocolate bitters and five spice is an especially good combination. A fun sibling of the Tia Mia!

Haven’t been this impressed by a new cocktail in quite some time. I really like it! I don’t have orgeat almond liqueur but orgeat syrup seems to work too. I used del maquey vida and hampden 8 years. They play very well together. And the bitters together with the 5-spice, it creates some kind of magic. I will certainly make this again.
