Still perfect after 3 years. Did back off the sugar syrup a bit just to make the cocktail a bit more sour. Lovely mixtures of flavours. Very refreshing.

OK. Revisited it again. Still awesome. This time I checked out Nightmares On Wax. New favorite Trip Hop. It's never too late... (not the ark of noah)!

The rum, chartreuse and genever forms a peppery taste which is really cool. Delicious cocktail.

Wow, that...did not taste anything like I expected it to. Delicious and incredibly unexpected.

This was five stars and a heart when I tried it the first time. Also great with orgeat for the sweetener.

Amazing, thanks for creating this recipe! Works well with Rummieclub Overproof from the local distillery here in Amsterdam.

This cocktail hit all the high notes for us. It has a punch, but is refreshing and smooth. Wonderful hints of herbal flavours with the dash of sour from the lime. Perfect level of sweetness.
