Hoskins Cocktail

Spirit-forward and just on the sweet side of bittersweet with cherry and citrus fruitiness. A perfect after-dinner digestif

Although a fan of Amer Picon in cocktails, I found this one a bit 'flat' at first. Added a knife's tip of citric acid dissolved in 2 tablespoons of water and 2 drops of 4:1 saline solution and that made a good cocktail a great cocktail (to my taste).

Thinking about your comment as I drink this, although I really am enjoying it, you are absolutely correct; it could benefit from a bit of acid. I have citric acid powder which I use for cooking, I was curious if you have other ideas as to how to introduce some acidity.

I also made it with Bigallet China China in place of the Picon. Rich orange with a touch of the Maraschino. Very nice 👍

This drink is incredible with a ferro china amaro in place of the Picon Amer.

Wish I could find some ferro china in our market in Seattle. Love to try it and the Picon Amer. Just found Bigallet China-China.
