Renewed my acquaintance with this drink this weekend and the diet is out of the window and I will chastise myself on Monday. I have added a couple of dashes of orange bitters too "orange out". I also have Fentimans Valencian orange tonic. Will try with this to see if the drink becomes too bitter. I do not have too sweet a tooth so this may work. Will report back on my findings. If this works could it be a Flucky Duff?
My Wife says is goes down easy. As she is a tequila monster no wonder. I made this to the recipe with Rooster Rojo tequila and Briottet Creme de Casis de Dijon. I realise Patron is the standard for the site but would take advice on the Reposado. I wonder how this would work with either a ginger syrup or ginger wine (Stones/Church's) and soda water as the dilutant.
Still learning about Irish Whiskey. This is my favourite thus far. It is very smooth with a warmth rather than a bite. I realise that there is more than Bushmills or Jamesons. Open to suggestions and other advice.
