Really enjoyed this drink. The spice / sugar balance is good.

I’ve tried this with a quite potent homemade dram (plantation 3 and o.f.t.d.). The first time I made it I used Buffalo Trace and simple syrup and I found that the spices dominated the cocktail completely. Now I have started using a more potent bourbon in Makers Mark and a muscovado syrup. It takes the cocktail to a very different place, but I find that it benefits from the dark molasses notes. Quite tasty.

I concur with the muscovado change. I used a stronger bourbon also and this nicely melds with the spice.

The pear/allspice/apple flavor mix was very enjoyable. I did swap in a little bit of apple whiskey instead of the full amount of calvados. That seemed to cut the sweetness factor just a bit.

One of the drinks I first learned behind the bar. Remarkably still a nice drink. This is a better mix than the cheaper version from that time and not nearly as sweet.

Quite enjoyable and a nice change from the standard Margarita. I'd start charging my friends $40 for it but then I'd not have any friends...

Loved it. I made it to instructions and then experimented by adding 2 dashes of Scrappy's Lavender bitters.

A perfect combination of flavors. The Averna and Bénédictine meshed nicely.

I think the amount of Hypnotiq is crucial to the taste of this drink. I think it benefits from slightly more of the Hypnotiq but if you want something "tropical" without the rum and sugar, it is a useful option to have. Besides, who am I to question anything created by Gary Regan. ;-)

Very nice and being someone who favors orange over lime, an excellent change.

A nice drink. I cut back on all of the orange ingredients and increased the Pisco for more balance but overall, enjoyable.

This was pretty good. Fairly peach-forward and refreshing. The sweetness of your orange juice will be a big determining factor as to how sweet the cocktail ends up. Mine was perfectly balanced. Will definitely put it in the summer rotation.

I adjusted the peach schnapps downward but what really made the difference was adding a dash of orange bitters and a dash of cranberry bitters.

A fascinating drink. I wasn't sure what to expect but this definitely exceeded expectations and has a nice balance of flavors. The bitter ingredients balance the sweet and sour almost perfectly.

I used Licor 43 instead of the Galliano and added a 1/4 oz of coconut rum and some orange bitters. Excellent drink.

Really enjoyed this. Good balance between the mandarin and the Jagermeister.

Surprisingly good. One drop of saline was more than enough.

Fruity and very easy to drink. Making it with 60ml of gin, to me, adds more depth to the drink.

Agreed. Just different enough from your run of the mill martini to be worth making.

Excellent. Agree with John Carr's comment that the grenadine is important. I also used Carpano as the vermouth which I think fit well.

As someone who struggled to acquire chartreuse of any color in the past year, this is just showing off!

I suspect availability varies greatly according to geography. Both the green and yellow still seem available at some level in Europe. VEP is harder to find and if you do, even pricier than it used to be.

I'll join the chorus here and say this is even better than I expected.
