Created by yours truly in August 2015 at the Cabinet Room in London, England. Inspired after making the same drink with white crème de menthe (Minty White Lady) and wondering how it would be with mastiha.

Simon, I revisited this drink again over the weekend with the addition of creme de menthe and I have to say I think I preferred the version in the book that I have but obviously everyone will be entitled to their own tastes! Thanks for the your response on my previous message.

Thanks for your engagement, Andreas. Great to have feedback to steer what I do with existing and future recipes.

Print version (15th edition) doesn’t have the creme de menthe.

I revisited this recipe on 6th November 2021 so the recipe above is different (and I think better) than that in 15th or 16th edition of our book.

The online version of this drink calls for 4 drops peppermint bitters while the printed 16th Edition Difford's Guide specifies 4 dashes. Which is it - dashes or drops? Thanks.

Should be drops if using strong bitters such as Bob's Mint Bitters but could be dashes if another brand such as Fee's. (sorry it took me so long to come across and answer your comment.)
