I tried the original, as found (with attribution) in the Cocktail Party app. Maybe my Ginger Wine had seen better days but it was not gingery enough.

I re-did it with 1.5 oz rye, 1/2 oz each of ginger liqueur, ginger wine and butter ripple & 1.5 oz of juice. Much more gingerbready. No ginger bitters to hand.

Delicious. Will try again with my next bottle of ginger wine

Looking at the ingredients explains this drink perfectly. It's butterscotch, a little apple, a little ginger, a little bourbon. It's perfectly balanced and delicious, but you aren't getting some secret subtle layer of flavour from this.

Good gingery flavour, warming and sweet. I have made this also using Butterscotch syrup as a substitute for the liqueur, but dial back to around 15ml unless you really like it sweet.
