I also think, dear friends, that yet another cocktail proposed by Our Maestro deserves a rating higher than 4 stars. I'm not a professional, and I used ordinary ingredients for almost 4 liters in total: Jose Cuervo Reposado Tequila, Bols Triple Sec, Fabbri Passion Fruit Syrup, and Luxardo Aperitivo, with everything else without any transgressions. I'll just say that at the Easter lunch with 14 guests (men and women aged 84 to 24), not a single voice dissented in praise.
