Very good indeed. Came for the minty alpine freshness, stayed for the fruit, rich whiskey and herbal depths. Makes 46 and spec. An excellent use for braulio other than the wonderful Improved Vermouth cocktail of this website.

I did it, but, since I ran out of Dubonnet, with a Marsala wine, pretty dry. I should say that the result is tres agréable. If someone does it, I'll be glad to know your feedback. Cheers

Whenever we embark, expectantly, on a cocktail created by Mr Clapham, for some reason, ultimately, the word "flibbertgibbet" comes to mind. This one is no exception.
