Review:

A half-ounce of almond syrup is an unlikely ingredient in an aperitivo-style cocktail. Indeed, it's an unlikely recipe but produces an interesting and tasty cocktail.

Intensely flavorful, but in need of some serious, if subtle, refinement. No 'off' flavors. Just tweak the specs. (24 Jul 2023, 1:48p)
