Wow. I enjoyed this. Did not feel Suze overpowered. Used rye and monte negro since I had them. Maybe a bit too tart but that could be my lemons. Refreshing on a 107 degree day
Saw the ingredient list and was so confused I felt I had to try it..and yeah this is Suze central. No identifiable bourbon or vanilla, just a whole lotta gentian.
I'd have to disagree with Robert, the Suze is the star of the show here and is overpowering the flavors. If you like Suze, you'll like this, otherwise look for something else.
Subbed Montenegro for the Nonino. A bit too much lemon for my taste, but otherwise a great drink. I completely get the “not-hot-hot toddy” effect; I suspect if this were served hot, the proportion of lemon juice come closer to the mark.
Otherwise, a great cocktail.
