This cocktail is absolutely fantastic! It is wonderfully complex. All the flavours come through separately which I love, and it has a delightful tart finish. Love the balance of sweet, tart, bitter, and spicy. My only suggestion would be to only sugar half the rim so you can try sips with and without the sugar. The drink doesn’t really need the sugared rim— it’s still nicely balanced without it — but a little sugar in the sip brings out the spices in the Angostura. I will definitely be adding this to my favorites and sharing it with friends. Thank you, Scott Gardner, for creating and sharing this gem. Now I’m off to see if you’ve shared any other recipes. 😉
