I found it quite balanced. It is sweet, yes, how could it not? But the tequila comes through nicely, and the nutmeg dusting does a lot of heavy lifting. Nice interplay of almond and cocoa, a very solid dessert drink.
Made this with Arette Repo and Disarronno. Really liked it. I got the chocolate, the nuttiness, and vanilla, salt and pepper notes from the Tequila. Very nicely balanced on booziness and sweet/sour.
Tried this after Freda's Brow (Grenadine rather than Amaretto and far preferred the former. I agree with an earlier comment a touch of cocoa sprinkle could help bring it out
I love this - it’s not at all what I expected. Beautifully balanced, it has a pleasing but not overriding sweetness. Surprisingly, and perhaps due to the tequila, it’s delicately floral. Don’t omit the nutmeg - it complements the chocolate and enhances the almond with a fine, nutty spice. I’ll be revisiting this one!
This is very good. Good falvour balance. It would be interesting in dusting with cocoa powder and nutmeg. May also consider adding a hint of white Creme de menthe.
