At first, the generous dose of lemon juice crinkled my face, but a couple of sips later the nice mix of Jack D and Napoleon smoothed it back to its normal level of wrinkles — by right of age.

Just revisited this cocktail and the lemon was indeed way too sour. Now reworked and with just 30ml/1oz lemon still on the sour side but zesty and tasty.

Kjell, agreed. The notion of so much lemon juice proportionately made me wonder, but this turned out to be a very smooth and balanced drink.
