I liked this and would try it with the bitters if I had them, but I found it enjoyable.

We enjoyed this but found it a bit thin. We have some ripe lemons on our tree so we might try commentor Heidi's suggestion for lemon syrup. In the meantime, an added 5ml Cointreau filled it out quite nicely for us. This is one we will enjoy experimenting with.

btw not having ginseng bitters, our work-around was four drops grapefruit bitters, two drops lavender bitters, one drop barrel aged bitters and one drop celery bitters. Purely speculative.

Let me know how that shakes out, Simon.

Shook out very nicely indeed Heidi. Thanks so much for the tip. And as you say, "different drink", so we felt at liberty to call it 'Heidi's Limoncello Cream Delux'. And we took the further liberty of adding 7.5ml Montenegro Amaro, which we think complements the added depth of your syrup...but you be the judge. We're sure that you have your own luscious lemon syrup recipe but, just for the record, here's ours: in a pan, bring 1 1/2 cups lemon juice and 1 3/4 cups white sugar to the boil and then let simmer for ten to fifteen minutes to thicken a bit; remove the pan from the heat and add 1/2 cup of lemon juice; stir and allow to cool. We think that the juice added at the end gives a bright and zesty note to the rich and deep boiled syrup. Best wishes.

Shook out very nicely indeed Heidi. Thanks so much for the tip. And, as you say, "different drink", so we felt at liberty to call it 'Heidi's Limoncello Cream Delux'. Having added your 15ml lemon syrup and loved it, we decided to go a step further and added 7.5ml Montenegro Amaro. You be the judge but we think it adds depth. We're sure that you have your own luscious lemon syrup recipe but, just for the record, here's ours: heat 1 1/2 cups of lemon juice and 1 3/4 cups of white sugar in a pan; bring to the boil and simmer for ten to fifteen minutes to thicken a little; remove from the heat, add 1/2 cup lemon juice and allow to cool. Adding the juice at the end, to our taste, contributes a fresh zesty element to the deep and luscious boiled syrup. Best wishes.

This is bright and tart. It'll make you blink a little, but it's very engaging, especially if you're a lemon lover, I happened to have a little lemon syrup on hand, so I add a light 1/2 oz and gave it a whiz with the frother. It brings the cocktail into delish dessert territory. Makes it a different drink, for sure, both very enjoyable.
