I find this particularly elegant. It works great with a fragrant gin. The complexity is perfect for an aperitive.

More boozy than many white port recipes - this is a spicy and flavorful cocktail (I used genepy and yellow chartreuse - I think genepy is great here, save the chartreuse). A terrific transparent and golden color, the cherry is perfect - very delicious and elegant. Consider this as an alternative to a Martinez, or even a Manhattan (they aren't the same, but the Time Release might be just what you're looking for).

A sloe gin sour with a touch of almond. If you opt not to follow my addition of vanilla bitters, then consider dropping the orgeat to 5ml (1 bar spoon)
