I feel a little scandalous drinking Armagnac any way but neat. But it’s irresistible to have this collection of unusual ingredients, plus the first ripe oranges on the garden boughs.

Moments later . . . It’s really good. The fresh fruit makes it. I’ve always wanted to sit at Mr. Weeks’ bar, what a treat that would be.

I tried a rift of this with a clear butter syrop and a mix of amontillado and fino. Amazing.
60 armagnac
15 amontillado
7.5 fino
30 clear butter syrop
37.5 lime lemon juice
Pincht of salt
Great drink

I’d love to know your butter syrop recipe! That sounds incredible.

For us this is too much Orgeat and not enough Armagnac. We dialled back the former by 5ml and upped the latter by the same.
