“How is it? I’m guessing strong?”

“Hoooooo. Yes. But it’s not bad.”

The Verdict: Not Bad

From The Tasting Notes:

The drink isn’t too shabby. You can taste all of the different ingredients without one overwhelming another, but it is a little strong. Not really worth opening a whole bottle of Dubonnet for just this drink, but at least the drink has the coolest name we’ve come across so far.
