History

Adapted from a recipe created in 2008 by Vincenzo Marianella at Doheny, Los Angeles, USA. In an attempt to give this cocktail wider appeal and inspired by a comment (see below), in January 2021, we reduced the bourbon from 60ml to 45ml and added 30ml of soda.

Found the lime a little too predominant so would reduce it next time. All in all, quite a nice and very drinkable autumn cocktail.

The Lime and Apple juice make for a nice complex interplay without adding another Liqueur. Great cocktail to balance out a heavy dish without fighting for attention. On the third go-round I ended up with 2/3 oz of St. Germain and 1 1/2 oz of bourbon for a better balance with the food. (Not quite so boozy) The Mrs. liked it with a little splash of soda water. It’s a keeper for us.

Many thanks. I tried your version of this cocktail and changed the recipe accordingly.
