Very tasty with my homemade sweet grass vodka. Yes it's on the sweet side but so's a cookie. All the flavors blend well together and are still discernable. Use plenty of zest to boost the lemon, and a bit more vodka and zubrovka doesn't hurt the balance either.
Well, this was interesting. At first I felt it needed a more assertive rum (I used Carta Blanca 80°).Some how the coffee seemed detached from the fruity flavors. It only got better as it warmed. Wifts of lime, creamy pineapple coffee imbued froth froth in an extra-dimensional almond apricot complex. Really quite good! Still want to try this with a higher abv rum.
Started making this only to discover I was out of lemons for the zest. Without which this was blah. Tried a small lime zest which was a noticeable improvement, then used zest from a giant green California Melogold grapefruit which helped considerably. Conclusion: the lemon zest is essential.
Bright and lemony fresh with a hint of creamsicle and the Suze adds so much depth and dimension. Love the bitter finish! Will try this next with Salers red cap. ♡ And yes the eggwhite is a nice touch.
