Review:

Unusual in its bold use of a half shot of Angostura Bitters. In Knee High Bar in Seattle, USA I've tried this cocktail made with a massive one-and-a-half shots. However, half a shot seems more than generous.

AMAZING. This cocktail is quite special. It's spicy, it's bitter, it's sweet, it's sour, with each layer revealed distinctively. It's a festival for all of your tastebuds! ? Added to favourites!

Made one with an aged column still rum instead of rye, turned out well!
