A little too sour, which makes the cream seem like it's expired (I checked, the cream I used is just fine). I recommend adding a dash of your favourite sweet liqueur to balance it out.

Nice Christmas Eve cocktail. Next time will use 1/2 regular gin and 1/2 Empress Hotel gin. It would give a light purple ice like colour.

How is it blue without the violet liqueur?

Simon Difford Verified User Premium Member 1y

Shouldn't be blue! The image is so old that it pre-dates digital photography. I'll prioritise re-shooting.
