  • Fantastic. Wonderful depth of flavor. All four of us trying for the first time vowed to make these again!

  • Sublime -- a cocktail that is much greater than the sum of its parts. We make the following slight modification: increase bourbon to 1.5 to 2.0 ozs. per drink and decrease lemon juice to 0.5 oz. per drink. The bourbon and Campari complement each other in surprising and delightful ways.
