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

33⅓% Noyau.
66⅔% Brandy.
3 dashes Angostura Bitters.
Mix and serve with a piece of lemon peel.
This cocktails was kindly bright to my attention in 2022 by Jason E. Clapham of the St. Edward's MCR at Oxford, 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."
