Man, so glad I found this. Spirit forward regardless of changes, but:

5/6oz bourbon way sweet but not bad
1.5iz bourbon much better

Kept everything else at 1/4oz

I think for a stronger, slightly more modern version I recommend going for 5 cl Whiskey keeping the other ingredients at 7.5 ml each. A nice twist is also to add just a dash of a peated scotch.

What a wonderful digestive. Wonderful flavours of bourbon, almonds, and oranges. A bit sweet, but perfect after dinner.

This was quite good! So good, I made it again with a slight tweak. I substituted the triple sec for honey syrup and it was *chef’s kiss*

In the pursuit of moderate sobriety, I’ve halved the measure of each ingredient from the original and switched the glass from a Martini to a Nick & Nora. We’ll update the image accordingly ASAP.

It's a disservice to yourself to hold back on this nectar. It's not enough.

I did wish to ask why you instruct to shake rather than stir this drink....

Thanks Andrew. Best stirred. Now corrected.

I found this interesting sounding drink in your list of amaretto cocktails. Made it with Mandarine Napoleon in lieu of Grand Marnier, and it was wonderful; a sweet, tangy combo, redolent with bourbon’s vanilla and the obvious almond and orange notes. Almost dangerously smooth and delicious. A keeper.
