I didn't have vanilla bitters so used vanilla extract and expressed lemon peel, then added as garnish. For my palate, this added a tart layer that balanced well with the amaretto and vodka.

Had this after dinner with an strawberry almond tarte. It is great and went well with the almond dessert. Would do again. Not too sweet.
