History

Adapted from a recipe created in 2017 by Daniel Seehuusen at Park in Göteborg, Sweden. He named this cocktail after the three original ingredients: Suze, first presented at the Exposition Universelle in Paris in 1889; Cointreau from Angers; and Eau de Vie de Poire from Normandy, which, when plotted on a map, form a triangle.

Very complex flavors. Long-lasting bitters. Nicely balanced. Initially quite sweet. The Poir William gets a bit saturated though. Overall a very good drink.

Really lovely balance of sweet orchard fruit, aromatic citrus, and rooty fragrance.

Nice, vibrant yellow. Smooth and a bit syrupy mouthfeel. Suze gives strong earthy/vegetal background, but the Cointreau is the more prominent flavor. No clear flavor contribution from Poire William - likely helps extend the other components, complementing their flavors while not being notable itself. Really nice combo of Suze and Cointreau.

A yellow, yummy little gem. Rather unique taste, instant pleasure! I added a dash of lemon juice.
