Flavors meld well together; light and summery. However, it seemed too diluted for my taste. I then increased the aperol to 1.5oz and decreased the wine to 2oz, and I actually accentuated the grapefruit flavor, which I was pleasantly surprised with

Very refreshing though sweet. Two slices of lime in the glass for a 3:2:1 ratio takes down the sweetness a bit and boosts the tart. ONE IMPORTANT NOTE- slap the mint leaves before adding to the glass. The shock helps release oils and give a slightly stronger minty accent flavor, rather than just adding the leaves.

Tried with Frangelico, but much smoother and more melodious with Amaretto. I recommend not using Disaronno though- in order to avoid the syrupy sweetness, Amaretto di Toscana is the perfect amaretto to use here. True flavor, thin, and gives that nutty taste the drink wants to highlight.

Tried instead with Sfumato Rabarbaro since thats what I had on hand. I think more bitter than intended. Im sure the Nardini would have given a sweeter but still slightly smokey flavor... I can see the appeal for sure. Would love to try with Nardini since the smoke from the sfumato overpowers the limoncello completely

A great cocktail suggestion even for those very hesitant with Jager. Complementary ingredients totally change the flavor profile of Jager from a slightly bitter amaro, to sweet and herbal liqueur. Very underrated combination Jager and Crème de Cassis

The cocktails I make are a result of a lot of trial and error and always try and embody the essence of what I’m going after. I want them to look, and taste like, and even feel like something special. I look forward to continuing my experiments and sharing my successes with you all in the hopes for feedback and constructive criticism. Thank you

Very well balanced drink overall, and one of my favorites. For a more citrusy profile, I use Citadelle gin. Though I love the sweetness in Chartreuse Jaune, Chartreuse Verte adds a much more herbal backbone and accents the juniper notes in gin.
