Very unusual flavor. I’ve not made anything with gentian before. This will be one of my favorites.

We enjoyed this a lot, and were inspired to create a tequila-based riff: https://www.diffordsguide.com/cocktails/recipe/42398/siglo-xx

The expression and the use of the red carpet came along because of a train 'The 20th century' were was promoted as a luxury train. You were received in style by the interior of the best designers in America, and they gave you a 20th century Cocktail. When I do not know what to drink this is one of my favorites. BUT STOP everything. In the past I used like here in the recipe the White Cacao from Giffard -so hard to get in my country. But now it appears the Hendricks Another, based in Cacao notes. I made one: Americano Bianco, the gin, the lemon -a little syrup allulose in my case- It's amazing!!!!! This new thing do it superb. As a matter of fact in the last couple of years I were using the Hendricks Cabaret, but this is a GAME CHANGER. I have low emotions in my life, but this is a krakatoa, an extravaganza! OMG

The ingredients are all given space to express themselves, individually and collectively. I loved the harmonious balance of sweet-sour with cacao richness. This is something special.

Fabulous mix of chocolate and citrus. Your choice of crème de cacao is critical. With De Kuyper's white CdC, it has a (milk chocolate) creme egg richness, though without the over-sweetness. With Giffard's CdC: dark choc, spicier, more complex. Very much looking forward to sourcing a bottle of Joerg Meyer's Dutch Cacao to see what else this cocktail can bring.

One of my favorites. I use Cocchi Americano. I really like these ratios.

Tastes great with lime juice also!

Stunning. Return visit with fresher and better ingredients.

The cacao delightfully enriches and supports the freshness and briskness of the gin, Americano and lemon. A bona fide classic. I’ll definitely be back.

I used a (literally) heirloom bottle of regular crème de cacao, but more contemporary glass-fellows. Wow! Wonderfully rich, but also subtle. Elegant, as Philip says below. Five stars and will be retrying with fresher cacao when the ancient Marie Brizzard bottle runs out!
