I used old Ezra 7 barrel str, the WP, then subbed some fig liqueur for the amaretto and toasted almond bitters to bring back the nut flavor. Yummy.

We enjoyed this one immensely. Usually we find amaretto liquor overpowering in cocktails but this one hit the right notes.

I've made this a few times now and I will revise my prior comment—no need for any sugar. I switched to Buffalo Trace rather than Maker's Mark and added maybe about an extra 5-7ml of amaretto. Now it's really singing and part of the regular rotation. Fantastic in the fall. This drink helped me survive watching the U.S. election!

I made this with Maker's Mark and Crown Royal Northern Harvest Rye (45%)—I'm in Canada so rye means Canadian rye in my house. This is a lovely mix of flavours, but for my own palate I think I'll add just a few mls of brown sugar simple syrup (or maple syrup?) to really make it shine.

delicious - sweet but balanced (enough) good for when I'm in the mood for amaretto
