This is really good! It starts off with cognac/vermouth richness (I used a local brandy-based vermouth from Mt. Defiance), briefly moves into grapefruit, before finishing with warm ginger and a whisper of chocolate from the bitters. Very nicely balanced with a great evolution, highly recommended.

Delightful. Perfect mixture of flavours with a hint of chocolate at the end. None of the ingredients overpower the others. On my favourites.

Some lovely complex flavours. The bitterness of grapefruit goes well in a cocktail (even if, like me, you hate it in its natural form) and the chocolate bitters round everything off.
