This is an excellent cocktail. Great combination of flavours! Made it with Montenegro. Just up my alley!

3rd time making this and I'm warming up to it more and more. Specific ingredients used will matter - I'm using amaro Montenegro and Los Siete Misterios Doba Yej.

The smoke might be stronger than other flavours to me. I thought perhaps too smoky - but I'm beginning to warm up to the recipe as is.

Definitely worth trying and experimenting.

Loved this.

Well that disappeared quickly! A well-balanced mingling of citrus, bitter, smoke and sweet.

We loved this Cocktail, very delicious. This is one I will trot out frequently…

Quite tangy to begin with but softens with each sip. A very good sour and one I’ll make again for sure.

This is very drinkable - just the right level of sour and remarkably sweetness.
I use Averna and think actually a dash of tonic wouldn't go amiss just to stretch it out and turn it into a long drink.
This is really rather good and is disappearing fast.
