Sour, dry and fabulously complex with bittersweet herbal gentian notes over a gin base.

Hit all the right notes for me and I did dial up the gin (20%) thanks Andy. Cocchi Americano Bianco and Suze combine brilliantly here.

Benefits from dialling up the gin.

Just made this again with the additional gin, thanks for the suggestion. And now I've gotta get a bottle of Byrrh for that violet negroni

Go on, what's the worst that can happen? 😈
