Tried it as written: too sweet... Swapped the measures of the Cognac and Benedictine: better, but blurry... Finally, I made it once more with the original specs, now subbing in Pierre Ferrand Yuzu dry Curacao for the Triplum, and that was the master recipe for me. That Yuzu Curacao is delicious, but difficult to adequately sub in for regular PF Curacao. This is only the second drink I found the Yuzu to be perfect in. The other was a Corpse Reviver No. 2.

Thanks to your comment, I've just revisited this cocktail and the original recipe is great with a dash of orange bitters and a regal stir (with orange peel in stirring glass). I've amended above accordingly.

Any time, Simon. I can't stand by while a recipe with potential is not yet potentiated.
