This one's a keeper. Can't wait to try it with a reposado. Used Olmeca Altos Plata and it was excellent. Subtle mint and lemon were balanced amidst the predominant Cocchi/Suze flavors. Will muddle the mint next time as Matt Excell suggests.

Tried this tonight. I think it's pretty clear this is a White Negroni riff, so I used contemporary White Negroni ratio: 45ml Repo-30ml Americano-22.5ml Suze
This worked quite well. Personally feel mint could do with some light muddling (flavour didn't come through for me just stirring). I decided to add a small, slapped, bunch mint to garnish and that was very pleasing.
Finally, inspired by Dried Meadow Flower cocktail, I tried stirring in heavy barspoon St Germain. Works so well with Suze

Sounds delicious! And good call re White Negroni - I've added a link under variant above.
