Like shogi, first outing for xocolatl bitters, and they’re quite the show! Used the listed 12 drops/one dash any it was mighty potent. A real flavour explosion this one! I’d be tempted to take the Campari back a smidge for my taste. But a brilliant flavour feast nonetheless, and a great way of celebrating winter solstice.

Whoa! What a spice bomb! Initially kept tasting cinnamon although I couldn' t taste it in Bitterman's Mole. Perhaps that combination of ingredients has some kind of Time Lord magical flavour amplification properties like say, inside the Tardis?

Just remade. Love how the Campari fruit and cherry work together! I think I’d be tempted to split the Base with half bourbon next time, just to tame the spice a little - I found the rye just slightly over powering its friends.

Ooo I’d totally forgotten about this! Guess what I’m having for dessert tonight?! Was just pondering uses for that lovely fresh bottle of cherry Heering!

Actually slightly dilution helped - topped up with a few mills of ice melt from the mixing glass opened up the flavours and allowed the xocolatl to create almost a zing on the tongue. Wow 🤩!!
