History

There is no word in the english language for the euphoria experienced as you begin to fall in love.
The Norwegian word for this feeling is Forelska

I wanted to utilize Mandarine Napoleon craft a cocktail that elicits that same euphoria. The notes from the liqueur meld and play lovely with the nuttiness of the amontillado sherry. The fruity flavors of mandarin orange is balanced with pineapple as the malt of the genever ties everything together.

This looks really good on paper, but in making this at home I found the pineapple juice drowns out all the other ingredients.

Was excited to use my homemade oolong syrup, but I don’t think it or the Old Simon comes through well enough. Still a tasty drink, but less than the sum of its parts.
