This cocktail was kindly brought to my attention in 2022 by J. E. Clapham of Clapham Cocktails, with the notation, "The original spec states 2:1, which for Tempus Fugit Crème de Noyaux would be far too sweet. Better than I expected."

Review

Crème de Noyau's fruity, almond-like notes combine with brandy in this late-night sipper.

An old-timey, simple but classic-feeling cocktail made possible out here in the provinces by the availability of Tempus Fugit Creme de Noyaux. Clapham's 4:1 proportions are plenty sweet. This seems like it would work well with an XO cognac that has more wood and/or spice to it.
