After looking at the ingredients, I wasn't sure about this one -- but I was pleasantly surprised and delighted by this cocktail. Given the power of the gin carrying this mix, an interesting gin will definitely have an impact on the final drink. I used a lovely Swedish pink gin, and the cocktail was astounding.

Great spirit forward cocktail. The gin and orange merge well together. A great old-fashioned cocktail. Not sweet.

This was in my opinion improved by the
Addition of an oz of orange juice to take the edge off what is otherwise a very booze-forward mix.

As Harry Craddock says of his own drink, "By its bitter-sweet taste this cocktail is especially suited to be a luncheon aperitif."
