It is perfectly balanced in my opinion, thanks to the passion fruit. I don’t see how anyone who is open to Campari would be alienated by this one. Another for the regular rotation.

This truly benefits from a couple or few dashes of chocolate bitters in my opinion. Provides a needed depth and balance (for me, anyway). Also wondering if orange bitters might be an interesting variation, like a chocolate orange. Definitely in my dessert cocktail rotation now.

I needed to add a dash of orange bitters to balance out as I found this to be too sweet, otherwise lovely festive cocktail I’ll keep in rotation.

A very nice cocktail for the fall. Applely without being too sweet.

Added splash of luxardo juice to soften the bitterness, garnished with the cherry, and substituted lemon for grapefruit juice. Very nice, thank you for this idea for putting my long-neglected drambuie to good use.

Agree is very nice, I’d like to try adding some creme de cacao next time.

Excellent as is but I decided a luxardo maraschino and a bit of the juice balances the tartness of the lime if like me you might have overdone it.

Perfectly delicious with white grapefruit. Surprisingly mellow and not sweet despite the amount of crime de cassis. Wonderfully balanced.

So delightful. Guess what I did. Used hot cocoa mix around the rim, a supposedly buttered toffee flavored hot cocoa that included dried milk. In other words, whatever you have around the house for your kids or parents, it is fair game. I have a peppermint cocoa mix I can’t wait to try this on. Indulgent and perfect dessert option. Shamelessly enjoy and have a dry martini tomorrow.

Omitted the water out of laziness and, well…it was delicious and will make again, again omitting the h2o

Haha forgot the sweetener at first and first sip was “interesting,” then quickly went back and added. Transforms the drink dramatically but without losing the dryness, just gets nicely rounded out.

Definitely be careful unless you really like citrus I think I overdid the lime (instead of lemon). In any event did not find sweet, more dry/sour. So add more pomegranate or other similar sweetener if you are looking for that dimension.

Substituted lime for lemon and used homemade mint infused simple syrup and Hendricks lunar gin, lovely.

Perfect summertime drink! I tried it with mint infused simple syrup. It was delicious!

Likewise!
