The Great Orange Liqueur Experiment, Part Deux
Bonal and Rye with Cointreau, Clement Creole Shrubb and Mandarine Napoleon
I will edit this later but right now Cointreau is out and it is neck and neck between the shrubb and the shorty.
I have to agree with Al and Claire, the Cointreau just seems relatively uninteresting or flat compared to the others. It is still a good drink but not great. The Shrubb is on the other end, because it has a prominent rum taste it adds a lot of complexity to the drink. In this case a bit too much, but it has a nice finish and the most bite. The Mandarine takes a little of the bite out of the rye which at first seems bad, but in the long run it has a nice complexity and does the best job of blending and complementing the flavors of the rye and Bonal.
