We found it a bit too candy like as written but liked the direction. We then added more vodka (15ml/drink) and that got it to a place where you could still perceive the sweetness and the vanilla but took it away from being too much like a lollipop.

This is the first time I have ever understood how wonderful Campari could be! So amazing!

We really enjoyed this as a distinctively characterful variant on the Sidecar. We suppose that if this recipe had been the original and someone had come along later with the now classic Sidecar as a variant, there might have been a chorus of "too bland!". Someone, we forget who, once said that if people had nothing to complain about they would be silent much of the time. We take it that you meant "Ango".

Hahahah yes, Ango!!

Okay but really, what’s the point? A Sidecar is magnificent in and of itself, the Anglo is just gilding the lily. That being said, the Pear and Cardamon Sidecar is truly a thing unto itself, a thing worthy of checking out if you haven’t already met it!
