Review

Bittersweet gentian is the prevalent flavour (hence the 'Suzie' name), toned down by bianco vermouth and freshened with pink grapefruit over a fortifying grainy vodka base. Peychaud's subtly adds its distinctive flavour.

Nice drink, but it’s missing something. Maybe I’m just not a vodka cocktail fan, felt like there was no underlying punch/hit to it.

We thought this could be encouraged into a dance between sweet and dry. So we added 10ml fino sherry and reduced the sugar syrup to 5ml. It's a very pretty and elegant cocktail. I know a boozy Suzie and she is pretty and elegant too.

The second time I made this I doubled the grapefruit to 15ml and increased the egg to 10ml. I might play around with it further, bit better think a splash more grapefruit worked, maybe.

I made this using my own homemade Suze and the variety of flavors was nearly overwhelming. Love it!
