History
Adapted from a recipe created in 2021 by J. E. Clapham of Clapham Cocktails. (The original recipe calls for 22.5ml / ¾oz lime juice). Mr Clapham says, "The name of this drink is meant to evoke Donn Beach's wonderful Missionary's Downfall, which brings together lime and peach in a tiki context."
Review
Reminiscent of a Last Word and inspired by a Missionary's Downfall.

Genever adds its own complexity to this version of the classic Holland House. The sugar syrup is my 'optional' addition, but for me it's essential.
