I tend to drink neat, on the rocks, and as for cocktails, I often go for minimal mix ins, like a martini, ginger beer, tonic, and stick to whiskey and gin. I do love a Negroni, and other Italian cocktails. That said, I don't drink enough cocktails to bother with making my own simple syrup, or keeping bitters in my bar. So, I saw the Smokeshow Classic advertised, researched the company, loved their story, and signed up for a repeating order every 3 months. The product is great! Like it more dry? Use less than a 1/4 tsp. Like it sweeter, use more. It has a long shelf life, and I am all of a sudden drinking a few more cocktails than I used to. Plus, I am now eating more oranges! You have to garnish with a peel! I might need to change my order to every 2 months, and will certainly try the other flavors! I say gor for it!
