Is like a gin with not so many clothes, and bad reputation, since it recalls the naked and famous, but in other order. Is an echo, of the mezcal one, but totally different, if there in the world wouldnt be so many cocktails this would be certainly a protagonist. But in this promiscuity of flavours is only a side note :(. So little time, so much to shake.
Made this exactly as prescribed. Really did not expect to enjoy it as much as I did.
The maraschino and Aperix play off each other surprisingly well, creating an interesting evolution. The Tanqueray is a bit lost, but not in a bad way, more just a supporting role. Very much enjoyed, I think Aperix works perfectly for the aperitivo with the maraschino, might try playing with different gins in the future.
A lovely drink with a refreshing, intriguing flavour profile. I used Aperitivo Mazzura and cut the maraschino back a wee bit but this still had interesting herbal notes and a very pretty colour. I'll definitely make this again.
Plenty orangey, in a good way what with the Aperol and a generous zest. The lemon juice was very pronounced, might try reducing it and the maraschino so it doesn't get to sweet.
