The aromatic oils from the orange zest twist are a critical element of this finely balanced and delicate vintage cocktail. Best made with a gin with some...

I tried it because the combination of gin, fino and orgeat was just too unexpected to skip it. It sounded like something that's either going to be really sophisticated or really... weird. Sophisticated indeed. Delicate, balanced, and highly enjoyable. Super drinkable - I love the softening effect of the vermouth and the orgeat gives this a nice lift. Fino lends a little structure and body. Just a nice, well-layered flavor grouping. Will do again.

preparing... this is going to be bitter... preparing... omg the sherry will over the top... preparing... it will be a martini in a rude manner.
tasting... sweet and nutty. not bitter at all. it will be better with lemon? maybe I want to put lemon in everything?
the accent unfold the orgeat, not like a saturn, or maitai: but as a sweetener in a different taste. It gave light on the orgeat, and potentialize the gin. Its 1922 so its before tiki? It would be very interesting as smtg to taste in Bar Chicote -well not its 1922 but Chicote worked at that time at Bar Cock, where they find inspiration in London mmmh, so possibly maybe.

An elegant balance of dryness and light, aromatic sweet. Excellent!
