A good reminder to the Americans among us (specifically me) that it can be good to switch the measurements to metric, especially when you find something like 5/12s of an ounce, which I confidently poured as 5/6s.

Cannot give it a rating, but I will definitely add some bitters the next time I want a nip of bourbon.

I don’t know if the cocktail is somewhere else on the site, but I like a version of an improved old fashioned cocktail that has bitters, luxardo, and grand marnier. Fruity but not a muddled.

This has such a pleasing finish. I just smile when I drink it!

This is a tricky one to judge. It is very dependent on the Bourbon you use . I used Woodford Reserve Double Oaked and it was very prominent, with the Luxardo mainly just providing the sweetness. A Bourbon forward drink ( as it should be) that is fairly enjoyable.

I made this cocktail & it was not one of my favorites - until I finished it. But having done so, I don't necessarily trust my judgment - nor myself behind the wheel of a large automobile. I think the right proportions & dilution are key to this cocktail. Will try the sugared rim at some point, as it is very dry & the Luxardo was quite forward, especially on the nose.

I found this to be a bit too sweet in the given proportions. I'll try it again with a little less luxardo.

Such a joy. Easy to drink. Not too sweet. Well balanced.

Astonishing cocktail, really surprised how well balanced it is. My initial thought was too much bitters, but I was wrong.

5 out of 5 for me!
