So -this evening (Saturday) mrs Larry and I are getting on with the book a little better. We tried the 5-0 Fireball which was really quite good, like a longer Zombie (photo to follow)

I've concluded that the issues I've been having can mostly be addressed by dialling back the sweetness by about 1/3rd. Also I'm keeping an eye on the citrus as they tend to go under, imo, in quite a few of the recipes.

This recipe is as follows:
1 oz lemon hart substituted with OFTD
1 oz Myers plantation (actually Bacardi 8)
1/2 Appleton extra (supposed to be the Special but we went with the next bargain point up)
3/4 chambord
1/2 oz vanilla syrup
1/2 oz lime
Dash organge bitters
1 oz 7up and 2 oz soda for which we dialled back the soft drink to just 1/2 of Sprite

Burning bread on top ....
