Not so far removed from a Corpse Reviver No. 2 in style, this gin-laced aperitivo is dry and aromatic with intertwined citrus and herbal notes

Right, and as a spaniard I know what that means, but maybe not all others who read the original recipe knew it means "lemon juice". Without a quantity it could be mistaken for lemon twist. I saw this recipe in Absolut.com (where it subbed Grand Marnier for Pimms Nº1 - !!??) and in CocktailBook.com more or less exact and none had lemon juice as an ingredient. The last one probably thought it meant lemon twist since they included it. Its interesting how recipes change and mutate over years, and mistakes and misunderstandings travel from one recipe to another. Mistakes are probably a creative part of cocktail history.
