Cubano
A tasty digestivo/late-night sipper that's just on the sweet side of bittersweet

It looked like it would be to sweet for my taste so I kept the same volume and dropped the Cherry Heering and Amaro to 20 ml each. It was still very tasty and rich. I'll keep using the drier version, its a keeper.

Cherry heering dominated and was bit too sweet.

I didn't have Heering or an equivalent, so I subbed in cherry bitters (1/2 oz) plus a maraschino cherry (with syrup) for sweetness.
Very happy with the result, can dial in your preferred sweetness with more or less syrup.

Tried twice and approve, but next time I'm trying Cuban rather than Jamaican as I think it dominates the other flavours.

I see I had the same reservation with the closely related Vanessa Polk. Maybe it's just me.
