Fin de Siècle (End of Century) Cocktail
Dry, spirituous and zesty, this is a cocktail that lends itself equally to apéritif or after-dinner occasions

Very surprised this cocktail only scores a 4 from discerning drinkers. I give it a 5+ but maybe the lower score has to do with sourcing Amer Picon and using a substitute? Unable to source Amer Picon in Canada, I lucked into cycling with a Brit who was an accountant with Diageo working in the Netherland before the Picon brand was sold to Campari. On retirement he kindly gifted me a bottle (as well as both Orange and Lemon Amer Bière; not sure what to make with those. Suggestions welcome!).

I made this a few months ago and really liked it. A 4 star drink
Made it again today but split the gin to be 50/50 navy strength and regular gin. Plus also split the vermouth to be 50/50 Carpano and Dolin Rouge. Absolute belter. 5+ stars. Might even introduce a drop or two of cacao bitters next time

Ok, this was FANTASTIC! I “secured” my first bottle of Amer Picon in Ruth’s states and this is my FIRST drink I made with it. Plus as stated before, I have to special order in my Rutte Dry Gin. Had all exact ingredients was listed. I found it not as boozy as stated with a beautifully blended spirit mix!!! I’m in heaven !

Dry (gin) and bitter orange. Not at all boozy. Liked it.
