Update: Okay the drink seems to have come together nicely, and now I have this neat tart tingle on my tongue which plays with the clove spice of the becherovka. I see how this one is supposed to work now. Very nice.

Wow. Interesting, and bizarre, at the same time. Very tart, and the secondary flavours that come in are the body of the lime with the allspice/clove of the becherovka, which sort of makes an abrubt left turn. I think this one might be an acquired taste (not in a bad way). Certainly one of the more unique flavour combinations. I'm resisting the urge to add a dash more simple to it to round it out a bit more and take the edge off the super tart lime, but I'll hold off for a few more sips at least.

This is a nice one. Bold, boozy, and full of flavours. I used Wild Turkey 101, and I sprayed the glass with pernod instead of absinthe (it's expensive where I am). The 101 stands up well to the maraschino and the bitters and pernod flavours dance on tongue. Perfect for the winter holiday season.

Delicious. As it says on the tin - dry and floral, long and refreshing. I used my home-made tonic syrup and shook with everything, and then topped with a couple oz of soda.
