Delicious! Whether or not it is properly classified as such, this is a fantastic digestif. After a rather heavy birthday dinner—followed by unfortunately large portions of German chocolate cake—this was just what the doctor ordered.

Bottle of Pechaud bitter can't give the same compared to Angostura orange bitter bottle. So it's difficult to find the good measure. Ok I have found that a dash is equal of 12 drops. Understand that is difficult to count 14 times 12 drops !! Am I the only one that is a problem ?

We have screw on replacement dasher tops (after removing plastic insert from bottle) that ensure even dashes from these bitters. Please see our shop:

This is one of those drinks where I really wanted to be harsh and criticise the gin because it doesn't show up but it does in the end. It adds a certain freshness that vodka and glycerin water can't add. It certainly straddles the line though. It's mostly bitters forward — Ango, Peychauds and Orange all show up — but it kind of falls flat on not feeling like a *cocktail*. All the ingredients make themselves known but they're all independent, not contributing to the overall drink. It's still a 4/5 because it's well balanced and well worth serving. It's just not better than the other Ango heavy drinks.

The Sawyer feels like a missed opportunity. With three bitters and gin’s botanicals, it should sing, but it falls flat—complexity without harmony, leaving the drink underwhelming.

That's an amazing cocktail, bitter yet tasteful.

I love this one! It's very complex and not nearly as bitter as I expected. The cardamom of the Ango tends to dominate the other bitters so I might try cutting that back a bit next time.
