How to make:

STIR all ingredients with ice and strain into ice-filled glass.

Garnish:

Turkish Delight & grate dark chocolate over drink

Comment:

Best made using Martell Cordon Blue as per the original recipe, this is a dry boozy sipper with faint floral and chocolate notes. Perhaps forgo the grated chocolate garnish in favour of a square of dark chocolate balanced on Turkish Delight.

About:
