Fabulously complex and spirit-forward. A delicious cocktail on which to sip and contemplate. Some may want to stir this cocktail but it's better shaken...
I didn't even employ the lemon peel garnish - which is a make-or-break addition to too many cocktails I've tried - and I'm absolutely gobsmacked by how astonishingly good this was. How the hell do all of those little ingredient accents add up to a full-flavored affair?!? Out of this world!
Superb, tho did take a couple of goes, dependent on today’s ingredients. My bottle of bokers turned out to be past its best, so used abbots instead. I fancied the professor’s use of orange, so one dash orange bitters. Cut the sugar to 2.5ml for my taste. Lemons weren’t great so added twist to shaker and glass. Tried with both Luxardo and Pierre Ferrand. Both worked really well. Genuine old time flavour. Sophisticated and complex and one to experiment with 🙂.
