A lemon tart is a luscious thing. This cocktail, by contrast, and for us, is elegant with a really nice balance. In search of the tart we added 5ml Manfredi Limone liqueur and two drops of grapefruit bitters. Next time we might make some lemon syrup and split the syrup 5ml simple + 2.5ml lemon syrup.
Salers was not hitting the mark for me here. Probably the most exposed the Salers has ever been when subbing for Suze. Despite this, very tasty drink. I will make again with Suze. But the expression of the Salers here made me want to next sub it for Cocchi Americano in a Corpse Reviver #2. Something I'm surprised I've yet to do...
Oh yes! Much preferred this to the Jersey Dancers.
The combination seemed to tame the elements so they all play nicely together.
Lemon forward, but then the gin (Tanq 10) and Suze combine into something new and floral.
A Must for anyone with a bottle of Big Suze.
