I dumped a few ingredients to see if I miss them. I also included one new ingredient which, on first impression, I think is a great addition.

I increased the bitter trio by 25%, and reduced the alcohol content slightly.
I recognize that these recipes aren't all that useful to anyone but me. I'm mostly posting them for my own reference.
