Review:

Full-on and on the bitter side of bittersweet. Pucker-up for a characterful aperitivo. Saline solution is an essential component to the success of this cocktail.

History:

Adapted from a recipe created in 2021 by Nick Bennett, beverage director at Porchlight in New York City, USA. On the bar's menu, this was listed under the heading "Guzzlers", cocktails described as being "Light & easy...maybe too easy". This cocktail's name was apparently inspired by a Broadway play called The Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder.
