Nice drink but you need to make sure that you add some of the Maraschino cherry syrup with the cherry otherwise it needs about 15ml of simple syrup.

OMG, I tried this drink, then I had another one & I kept having them until I ran out of eggs. This would be up with some of the best drinks I've ever had. Just one point is to keep the dusting of cinnamon light, don't over do it as it does ruin this drink if you go to heavy.

Just not as good as other Manhattan's, if anything, I would say this is the furthest from a true Manhattan that I've had. I think if you hadn't had a Manhattan before it wouldn't be too bad though. Definitely worth a try.

Definitely a different taste, I think it's the triple sec that is the savior of this drink. Make sure you squeeze your orange zest over the drink, the oils help with the flavor immensely.

Most definitely one of the best Singapore Slings I've tried and one I am sure to make again in the future. Thanks Dale, you have come up with a killer combination.

I think it's just a little boozy for me when you're drinking it, the after-taste is quite pleasant, just needs something to knock that initial harsh edge off it, not much but something.

Over-ridden by Baileys, wasn't great but wasn't terrible. Tried it by swapping Baileys with Disaronno Velvet Liqueur & Butterscotch Liqueur with Butterscotch Schnapps & it was a total winner.

Sweet cinnamon is the first hit followed by a hint of pear. Will definitely be on my "to make again" list. Not recommended for those that don't want sweet.

A smashing little shot with a real apple pie after taste. I found it better with full cream rather than single cream & don't skimp on the cinnamon & is my recommendation.
