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.
