Thanks Toby, this just goes to show that there's always quite a bit more work involved in VH than just a simple alcohol ratios game. I'm going to try the Fox Hunt again (I'm a sucker for bitter drinks) but have you noticed that Cynar tastes exactly like a chinese cough syrup? (I'm not saying it should be a Flaming Moe's, but here the info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nin_Jiom_Pei_Pa_Koa)
