It also really packs an alcoholic punch. I think I'll try it again with all the other ingredients in the same proportions but omit the demerara. The drink really tasted of brown sugar or molasses and leather. The licorice came through, too, but that was about it. I was very surprised because I expected to really love this cocktail and followed the recipe to the letter.
