History

One of the cocktails promoted with the launch of Italicus Rosolio di Bergamotto in the summer of 2017.

Review

Bitter orange peel is a botanical which features in many gins, and in this cocktail a bitter sweet bergamot liqueur is mixed with gin to good effect.

Far, FAR too much Italicus. Much better with a 3 (or even 4):1 ratio

Yes, to the advantage of both ingredients. I free poured roughly 3:1 and had a very pleasantly aromatic, martini-like aperitif. Used the excellent very citrus-forward Le Tribute gin from Spain.
