Simple delivery of cheer at its most 'refined'? Lemon meringue-smeared, semi-diluted gin?... The aftertaste is mildly amusing, but way more interesting than any sip... I drink to explore flavors, and this drink is intentionally trying to tittilate and tease. (4 Jan 2023, 6:44a)

Ah the controversial Golden Fizz. I could not taste egg in the final drink, which is pretty good. Lemon, sugar, juniper from the gin with just a tiny richness.

Although it spoils the sunrise effect, this drink is less tart if the syrup lying on the bottom is stirred into the drink (or, better, included when shaking)

More cloudy white than golden but a pleasant, refreshing long drink all the same
