Perhaps my favourite cocktail with zzzzzzzzfz - with 45 ml of it is bound to give a punch. I like to think that mr Difford had already appreciated 3 or 4 of these before sharing the recipe. I already had one so I had to doublecheck that zzzzzzzzfz was really there

I believe zzzzzzzzfz was originally Caorunn Gin and I'm not sure how this very old page is still live. However, I've fixed a gin by name and will investigate.
