This is a new use of Suze for me. Strangely enough, the bitterness of Suze blends perfectly with the citrus peel flavours and makes for a superb drink. I really enjoyed the smooth egg white addition.

Bright and lemony fresh with a hint of creamsicle and the Suze adds so much depth and dimension. Love the bitter finish! Will try this next with Salers red cap. ♡ And yes the eggwhite is a nice touch.

My appreciation of Suze is very much a work in progress. I'd struggle to say I enjoy it but I defintely find it interesting and seem to have got through most of a bottle normally having it with tonic. This cocktail works fantastically is definitely another step towards total acceptance of Suze!

I made this having just enough Cointreau and Suze left to pull it off. The specs to me sounded too sweet, and I felt it was, despite the bracing bite of the Suze. The flavor balance is on point. It might just be a case of dialing down the simple to 7.5 ml. Tough to say, considering the interplay and dominance of acidic citrus and gentian in the aftertaste. Nonetheless, this is going into my catalog. (24 Jun 2023, 10:06a)

This is a lovely, well-balanced bitter cocktail. The addition of egg white is a nice touch, the silky texturing contrasting well with the sharper, herbal flavours.
