I like bourbon. I like almonds (and marcipan). After finishing this cocktail, yes got used to it, but it does not bring the best out in the ingredients. In other words, no second round here. Sorry.
I find Pastis taste better with still water than with sparkling. I tried both with and without orgeat. The mineral or slightly metallic taste of soda does not do well with the liquorice-anis.
Yes, I use the same proportions.
Happy 2025
