I like the way cocoa bitters bring all flavours together.

Angel’s Envy bourbon and a bar spoon of Sapjack bourbon aged maple syrup, Ango cocoa bitters. Really enjoyable and right in the middle or the dry/sweet continuum. Recommended.

A bit sweet for my palate; think I overdid the maple syrup - it doesn't need more than a bar spoon.

I am always surprised how much I like Jaegermeister cocktails.
This works…the right amount of Jäegermeister spice compliments the chocolate bitters and Bourbon. Very tasty!

Laudation to Herr Beuren. Easily the best use of Jaeger I've ever experienced.

I have tried substituting Unicum for Jagermeister. I have used 20ml instead of 40ml and added 10ml of vanilla vodka to try and soften it
