Delicious and simple! Very approachable and appealing flavors. I wonder how subbing in honey syrup in place of the rich simple would work - would it be similar to a Bee's Knees ?

Very nice! Fresh, lemon'y with a nice tsipouro aftertaste and a mastiha resin undertone. I added a maple syrup instead of simple and a little bit less of it.
