Review:

This light, aromatic, sweet and sour beauty has a grown-up, quinine-rich flavour but lacks the 'sting like a bee' finish.

This is a really interesting drink. It has an unusual taste. I don't mean that negatively, I mean that it doesn't really taste like anything else. It is very nicely balanced and it's not a large drink--several of them could easily go down very rapidly.

I do have to say mine did not look great at all--it was a muddy brown colour. But that was probably because I was finishing off a bottle of Martini Rosso that had been in fridge a bit longer than recommended.
