Time increased the blueberries to 7, with 2 splashes of my home-made concentrated elderflower liqueur, and he mixed the creme de violette in the cocktail
rather than just rinsing the glass--perfect!

There is nothing indicative of the mysterious ingredient. Please edit or comment with what it is, because I’d love to make your cocktail!

The original recipe seemed a bit too sweet for my taste, so I added 1/4 oz of lemon juice, increased the poured William to 1/4 oz, and used Phantom V Distillers’ Spirited Apple Orchard brandy. Out of this world delicious!

I won't say it's *that* bad, but it tastes like salami with lemon juice and maple syrup. It's very strange. It's one of those things that I could see myself hankering when I have pregnancy cravings.

A decent cocktail, but to me it wasn't quite right. I wasn't expecting a pineapple sour, so I wasn't a big fan; however, I added 1/2 oz 2:1 simple, and it made what was a mediocre drink rather tasty. Next time, I'll try just a 1/4 oz of lime juice and see if I can skip the simple altogether.

I used Spirited Apple Orchard brandy from Phantom V Distillery and skipped the simple, and it cranked this cocktail to 11! It is beautifully balanced. I'd say it's almost a sour, and that Apple brandy is something else! The apple flavor never gets drowned out. It elevates everything I've mixed it with! I wish it were on your list of spirits/liqueurs.

I used Phantoom Distillery's Spirited Apple Orchard, Alpine sugar-free apple cider mix, and DaVinci cinnamon syrup--it turned out HOLY SMOKES good!! Tartness on the back end, the perfect light cinnamon note, and apple flavor that knocks your socks off! One of the best cocktails I've had in recent memory. It's definitely a keeper!
