A surprisingly good drink. I made it a second time with Cassis instead of Cherry Brandy and it was more interesting and slightly chocolatey. Yum.

In the ‘Manhattan’ arena - but decidedly more exotic. It has excellent balance. I used Averna and Lillet Blanc. Delighted to have a rare outing for the Xocolatl Mole Bitters - an important element that adds to the overall complexity of this fine drink.
