I'm in Valencia and have just tried an Agua de Valencia. I can confirm that this is more boozy than the sliders suggest in terms of alcohol content. Taste wise it's pretty spot on. Very refreshing. Muy peligroso.

What a delightful drink.
I didn't have any barrel proof bourbon as per much of the comment suggestions, so I upped the bourbon quantity to 60ml.
It's sweet, but not at all sickly sweet like many cherry cocktails. Favourited
I didn't have and Galliano Coffee Liqueur, so it was a toss up between Kahlúa and Mr. Black. Since there's already enough sweetness with the Grenadine and Frangelico I opted for the latter.
Grenadine hits you first and threatens to drown out everything else, but then the hazelnut and eventually the hint of coffee come through. The booze is gone in the cacophony of sweet flavours.
This would work well in the garden on a sunny autumnal evening.
Beauty.
The proportions are spot on. Everything comes through nicely with nothing dominating.
This is one of my favourites.
I'm into this. The Scotch is still the star of the show here with the Benedictine and Frangelico providing a subtle propping up at the bar.
I like the ratios used here.
Made this with Ardbeg Uigeadail and what a dance it did in my mouth. It was sweetness by the bonfire. Would dance again.
Did you discover Bonnie Banks at Cameron House? Please can you ask for the recipe and share it here?
It was at The Oak Tree Inn in Balmaha. Unfortunately I didn't ask for the recipe, but I'd imagine equal parts of everything minus the bitters.
I'll need to experiment when I get back home.
Here I am, in a bar on the shores of Loch Lomond, and they're serving something called a Bonnie Banks. It's delightful, yet maybe too sweet.
I'm not seeing a "Bonnie Banks" anywhere on Diffs, but this version of the Bobby is the closest, only without the bitters.
I need a bottle of Drambuie in my cupboard stat.
It's much better than I though it would be without any syrup. Very booze heavy so don't skimp on the dilution.
When I make it again, and I absolutely will, I'll be using a rocks glass and a big ol' ice cube because this one takes a while to consume.
