Perfect nightcap. Sweet and almondy, as you would expect

Thought it was a bit too sweet with the agave but instead of removing I tried again with an added dash of mezcal - more complex and interesting!

Lightly almond tequila, which is what I was expecting. Nothing special, fine but likely won't make again. Unfortunately all the base + amaretto variations have been underwhelming.

Had again using Anejo tequila and eliminating the agave syrup. Cocktail was more flavourful than when we use Reposado, and not as sweet. Feel the Amaretto is sweet enough for the drink. But then we do like a cocktails a bit dry.
