History

Adapted from a recipe created in 2022 by J. E. Clapham of Clapham Cocktails, who says, "This vintage-style drink is an enhancement of the rather basic Starboard Light from the Café Royal Cocktail Book. A small amount of Giffard's Crème de Pêche de Vigne serves to bridge the lemon and mint flavours, and lends the drink a hint of elegance.

Review

Best enjoyed as an after-dinner cleanser with gin-laced mint, zesty lemon and delicate peach.

I accidentally reversed the mint and peach amounts on this (someone was talking to me!), but I rather enjoyed it nonetheless. I thought it would be too sweet, but actually not. (I realised my mistake halfway, and so actually increased the mint to 7.5 ml).

I agree with Jeremy - as a pre-dinner cocktail at least it benefits from a smidge more peach, but very drinkable either way.

Interesting. Not scarily minty. The lemon adds contrast, the peach softens it all, (though I added a more generous 10ml).

I used the clear Crème de Menthe, by Briottet. A simple, tasty sour.
