I read Neptune and directly went into my huge collection for the Hendricks Neptunia. When used in a simple Tom Collins it taste like sand, sun and sea. So its salty without the salt, and the sense of a Beach. I was very generous with the Fee foam, since I really like it like a shampoo cup. I was very very afraid, maybe terrified of the absithe, I don't like the flavor. But I have it in a perfume vaporizer and just make a cloud of it when I pour it. My guest were delighted. Everybody claps, but since we are under the water in a Esther Williams movie, the claps were never heard. The reason why Neptune -in neptunia- was angered ... soon forget with the proof fumes.
I’ve never flamed Chartreuse but it was very cool touch and and exceptional drink! Also used some newly aquired Fifty Pounds Gin. I just used prepackaged egg whites and seems to work fine.
OMG, amazing drink. Used Oggs instead of egg white, gave a very nice mouth feel and a good foam. Good balance of flavour with Le Fee (although Devils Botany Absinthe would be my first choice) The flaming Chatreuse is absolute genius!
A pleasant surprise! I made this with aquafaba since I had some in the fridge. The Last Word is one of my favourites but wasn't expecting too much from this but it's very pleasant, much more accessible than the LW, too.
Hi Simon, if I use Rutte Old Simon Genever instead of London Dry Gin, should I omit the sugar syrup? I've heard people say Genever is sweeter than Gin.
I've added a link to a page explaining the dry shake above. I use Hayman's London Dry Gin (41.2 alc./vol.). Look for a classic London Dry style gin, ideally 41% to 43% alc./vol..
Navy (114 proof), chartreuse (110 proof), lucid absinthe (124 proof) - this one has a bit of a kick. But…it’s SO delicious. I imagine Neptune shaking his trident in warning!
