Might be my favourite application for Kina L’aero d’or so far (twentieth century was also brilliant!). Full of vintage flavour and richness. Wonderfully herbal, fruity and vinous - finished off a bottle of Sipsmith 30ml and 15ml Tanq 10 combined to display some virtuoso gin aromatics. This is roughly my ideal blend of Lillet to L’aero - I find 1:1 overpowers the wonderful sauv Blanc in Lillet so 3:2 or 2:1 much better.
If you like Versprrs and Corpse reviver no.2 definitely try this.

Better than excellent! Lovely ratio and twenty four drops of absinthe balanced perfectly. Now on to the twentieth century...

Good idea!
I really liked an absinthe spritz over this too - seems to bring it together.
