Didn't end up loving this one. The gin was overwhelmed by the cognac, making it a Sidecar, but with more bottles to fetch. Might try to slice the cognac down to 15ml and see if the gin takes more of an active role because I really like the idea of this cocktail.

Sits nicely with 5 ml roses simple syrup. I may biml ingrediants to make larger drink

Had to add 10ml of agave nectar to this which made a cocktail more in line with my tastes

Agreed, was way too sour! I've amended the recipe and added a spoon of sugar syrup (other sweeteners such as honey would also work well).
