Totally agree, I’m having an evening full of planes it seems and this is almost as good as the paper variety but not quite. Two probably silly questions, I’m using my Cynar for these, that is an amaro right? Also why are they all 22.5ml equal parts? I’m doing 25 ml and damn the consequences 🤣

Starting to work my way through the ‘proper’ classics at the moment, having a break from creating new stuff or making ‘bar’ classics for friends. This might have just shot straight to the top of my list. We prefer sour cocktails rather than anything sweet or creamy, if you also do and haven’t made one of these, go for it . It genuinely made me smile and take a deep stress relieving breath in as I drank it. This one is good for your mind, body and soul. Thank you.

Thanks Simon, Pear Bear, sounds like a pear brandy riff on a manhattan 🍐

Just to take this one step further, apart from the top 20s the other way I think most people stumble in to new drinks on the site is by seeing discussions on the homepage and clicking through. Other discerning drinkers saying that something is lovely and worth a go is a much bigger draw than just searching yourself. Is there any way to increase the comments visible to more than just the last 3 please? By the time I wake up in the UK I would have missed plenty of chat from US folk for example that I will never then get to see. Just an idea, more than 3 could look a bit clumsy on the homepage potentially, maybe a link to 'discussions' where people can see the last 20 or so posted comments?
