As John wrote- I halved the sugar- superb- I zested a swath of blood orange from our tree into the Boston tin and added 2 healthy blood orange twists - is definitely on the regular list at home now.

Delicious after-dinner cocktail. Used half of the sugar syrup to make it a bit less sweet. Bitters work perfectly and enhance the cognac.

Really good cocktail - and sweet. Will try using 7,5 ml sugar sirup next time - so a little less sweet.
