I'm another without the vanilla bitters, but found that drops of regular vanilla and a dash of black walnut bitters served in good stead.

Following the great advice to cut back on the maple syrup and subbing in Bittermans Xocolatl Mole bitters for the tobacco bitters made for one of my new favorites. I also sprinkled a little ground clove onto the orange peel garnish to give my nose the intended experience.
