Really enjoyed this. Don’t always keep Dubonnet in the cocktail cabinet but welcome when we do. My husband went rogue and made this with Johnnie Walker Black Label which might be unorthodox but is, if anything, more delicious.

Pleasant, but slightly indeterminate. I'd sooner go one way or the other: either a Man o' War or a Manhattan Sweet.

I think I agree with this assessment. It's fine, but not worth rushing out to buy Dubonnet just to be able to make one of these...

Ooh, I say. What a smooth little creeper. I had Lillet Rouge to hand instead of Dubonnet and found it rather lovely.
