Now do admit that the taste of licorice, cinnamon and tomato together is as interesting once it hits your taste buds as the sinfire cinnamon whiskey is. You can use whatever mixer you prefer but everybody's tastes are different. I found that if you pour first 2 ingredients in and then added the oj or in and then added the other 2 makes it taste better. I didn't try it but someone said if the bar you go to doesn't have the tomato vodka then use the espresso vodka.
