A *lot* of flavours, where some work and some doesn't. I kind of like it though. It's very unique. If you ever want a cocktail that you could drink av entire evening then this is it.

There’s a lot going on here. I had after dinner, but suspect that the apéritif hour may change my perception significantly. Improved as it warmed and diluted.

This doesn't really come together, interesting but too many unique flavors

Since I have no Genever available at the moment I replaced it with one half of non-peaty blended Scotch with high malt content (The Antiquary) and the other one with a new western style of gin where juniper is only in the background. It worked very well!

Gentian and cacao compete for mainstage, dancing between symphony and cacophony. All my friends hate it.
I bought a satchet of genepi from Vars, France, just to make this convoluted drink.
