Initially hits with a familiar sweet-sour profile, then the richer fruit, floral aromatics and herbal notes come through, with just a hint of bitterness from the Suze. For me this was on the sweet side of balanced: I often have to go easy on the citrus juice (I think Australian citrus is picked very under ripe) but in this case needed the full complement.

A new Christmas classic to sip while watching an old Christmas classic!

This is a fabulous drink. Standard Difford mainstays - Maraschino and Elderflower - in evidence, but to great effect.

Have tried this twice, once with Briottet Maraschino and once with Luxardo Maraschino. The latter punched through and made for a more satisfactory balance, spiritous and light. A fascinating combination of flavours overall!

Wow! Floral, fruity, boozy, sour, herbal and bittersweet all in one drink. Wonderful combination. Must be shared.

I think there is a mistake with the amount of maraschino.

Also delicious with regular vodka!
