Highly drinkable. I used Simon’s suggested noyau sub of amaretto and a dash of grenadine for colour. I added the bitters as a spritz on top. Salut!

The 5ml touch of almond/kernel works beautifully and harmoniously, adding depth to the spirits, wine, herbal and fruity characters of the gin and Lillet. Recommended.

I’m surprised Difford’s Guide doesn’t also feature the Harrovian cocktail, from the Savoy Cocktail Book, as Harrow is supposed to be the rival school to Eton!

Agreed, it's a glaring omission. I've added a draft Harrovian recipe to our Early Access Cocktails ahead of perfecting in the coming days and photography.

My eyebrow raised at the ratio of Lillet to gin, but wow, this Lillet-forward cocktail really works.

Did not have crème de nayou, so subbed amaretto and it was delicious

Amaretto works great in this rather unusual cocktail. I agree: delicious!

Yes, I had the same problem, so subbed in my homemade whitebeam bud liqueur which has a comparable almondy profile. It works beautifully!
