Review

Pisco, pineapple and Sauvignon Blanc wine are a match made in heaven, while gentian liqueur provides complex underlying gentian bittersweet notes.

Cut the sugar syrup by half, at least.
Other than that, tastes real nice

Last time I checked, it was still a criminal offence in France to mix Suze and pineapple juice ;) Well they're clearly missing out, this is sumptuous.

I like Suze, however here the flavors didn’t work for me in this cocktail
Maybe it’s because I didn’t want to open any wine, so I’ve used vermouth instead

I agree - I think without ice works really well. A good one to introduce someone gently to gentian based liqueurs as the flavours blend so well here

This is very nice. I was out of Suze so used Bols Genever which I think made it a touch sweeter

This is really good. Love the silky smooth shaken pineapple texture. Try it without ice.
