Delicious. Reminds me of hot summer days doing the gardening. The cucumber and mint really shine through (especially with heavy handed muddling). Another favorite!

This is elegantly sour and delicious. All I had available was vanilla infused simple syrup, so I used that and I don’t think it changed the flavor much. I don’t know because I’ve made it only once, but it was tasty.

I will have to add more ginger liqueur to give this anything other than mediocre. It’s too heavy on rye and bourbon, unless that’s your thing. I’m personally of the belief that if it’s more than bourbon and rye , it should taste that way. I was not impressed with this blend.

I’m glad I tried this. I have bought a lot of liquor to make and try many drinks that I’ve never tried. It’s nice learning all the flavors and chemistry. I find the Ouzo tends to dominate in this, either intended or not. I will cut back on it next time, but I’m going to enjoy this one now.

I love the basil, but found the Grappa on the heavy side. I’m not an expert by any means, but I’ve tried other drinks with fresh basil that I like much more. I’m still getting used to grappa, but this is a good drink.

Tart and fruity. I used Bison grass vodka as well. I added an additional 2.5 ml of simple syrup. I guess my blackberries were extra tart.

I took a sip of this before adding the club soda, and I much preferred that. Adding the club soda, in my opinion, diminishes the drink. It isn’t bad either way. I found the drink refreshing and cookie like, but not overly sweet.

Fruity, but not really unique. Not overly sweet, but I’m not finding anything special here. Ginger beer stands out. I wasn’t impressed, but it’s all a matter of taste.

I love a tequila expresso martini, and this really steps it up a notch. With fresh-brewed espresso it’s great. Vanilla vodka might round it out but it’s perfect as is.

A good drink with sweetness. I added 1/4 ounce of grenadine, and it tastes like a Jolly Rancher candy. It’s a fin drink and could be used with many “candy” variations ( i.e sour apple, ginger, butterscotch). I quite like this.
