My initial thought was malort or jagermeister, but doubling down on citrus/licorice aspect seems a bit questionable. I think it needs something with assertive body but different flavor profile. Maybe Laphroaig?

This might be the best worst answer because it’d be a tragic waste of Laphroaig. A lot of the other answers involve booze I wouldn’t feel bad about pouring down the drain.
