Lovely, sweeter than I was expecting based on the ingredients, especially at first, with the perfect bitter balance. Caraway and citrus pith linger in the aftertaste. Aquavit really needs to be in more cocktails, such a unique flavor.
Slight preference for this over Eeyore's Requiem as I am a big fan of Cynar, which also gives a hint more sweetness.
A slightly sweeter version of the espresso martini, while keeping it dark with the use of the maple syrup over simple. Enjoyable and preferred over the equal parts version (though not as much as the higher proof that has the highest rating on the site).
Had high hopes but unfortunately fell short. Too much chocolate cream and not enough coffee flavor for me, the ratio of bourbon and cream is good but needs more coffee to darken it up a little.
Quite dark and dry despite the irish cream and creme de cacao. Nice creamy mocha just lightly sweetened with a nice hit of bourbon on the finish. My wife took a taste of mine and stole it so clearly enjoyed by her as well.
Nice creamy nuttiness with a hint of chocolate, honey showing up on the swallow. Been probably a decade since I had a Toblerone but this was a lovely reminder. Honey and cream works great together, my wife loved the combo despite not being a fan of honey.
Liked it as is, definitely an adult milkshake. Funnily enough the flavors mix to give off a chocolate and nuttiness rather than any coffee flavor. Can't imagine the point drinking the standard orgasm with how much of a dessert this already is, guess it better be screaming.
Whoa boy is that basil heavy, which is a good thing. Personally think lime would be more my preference but do love the basil.
Nice but after the Edison's Medicine it didn't quite live up. I halved the lemon and it was a nice herbal sour, but the cachaca was so good in the other cocktail.
Lovely, fruity from the cachaca with light herbal notes from the chartreuse. Sweet lime and basil in the aftertaste. Liked it at full lime juice which is unusual for me, I generally half lime/lemon though guess the large amount of agave helps offset.
Very nice and hard to describe, halved the citrus. Sweet lime on the tip of the tongue, minty fernet coming strong on the swallow. The aftertaste is where the nuance lies; molasses, sweet fruit but not obviously banana, herbal, and just a hint of lime.
Darker than the original espresso martini, but also a little sweeter. Gives off espresso candy vibes, which is not a bad thing. This vs traditional would just varying in my mood.
Sweet, but less sweet than I was expecting with the maple syrup and raisins. Also surprised how it does not feel watered down at all with so much added water. Dark fruit and brown sugar with the maple and fernet peeking through.
Nice warmer and subtler version of a Negroni, get more of that Campari citrus flavor without the gin competing.
Right balance of sweet and boozy, I used Appleton 8 yr and may try again with something more complex next time (thinking Smith & Cross to get some banana flavor as well).
I enjoyed as is but also don't mind milk (and something I rarely have around the house). The scotch is still able to kick through the creaminess and the milk advocaat combo is a nice thickness level.
Oddly minty with an almost sour apple aftertaste, not my thing but certainly interesting.
I like the interplay of the aquavit and chartreuse but not in love with the applejack. Think it is the fight between fruit and herbs, I wish it was a true herbal victory.
Excellent holiday drink, despite the strong flavored ingredients nothing is overpowering. Spiced orange and apples with dark molasses and vanilla. Just a hint of the absinthe. Sweet but not cloyingly so. The 15 ml of water is the right dilution, I did not even add a cube to the glass.
The peated scotch didn't play very well with the other ingredients but liked the concept overall. I especially enjoyed the black pepper, it has such a nice undertone and would like to try some other drinks with it.
I don't know why but I liked the drink on the tongue but absolutely hated the aftertaste. Strange because I love a Negroni and figured a tequila version would be excellent.
Not super exciting but still good, certainly need to enjoy Fernet as that is the dominate flavor. I used half the lemon juice which was the right amount for me.
Very tasty dessert drink, slightly prefer this to the Eggs-cellent though both are delicious. Boozy vanilla custard with an herbal chartreuse back drop.
