what a surprice, I did not expect such an amazing cocktail with those few and simple ingedients. totally liked it, fresh, not sweet not dry, bitterness with yellow fruits coming through and lasting taste. Perfect for this 23 degree C heatwave midnight in Copenhagen. I used Fewer Tree's normal tonic, Dubonnet and the Suze. And the lemon peel :-)

I tried with Suze and Dubonnet, truly excellent.

Use a not-overly sugared tonic and well chilled glassware and this is perfect warm weather drinking and a showcase for Suze. Perfectly balanced sweet herbal bitter flavours. Love the supporting role of the Byrrh here, adding a touch of fruit and roundedness.

Using what I had, this turned out much more moreish than I'd anticipated - Salers, 2:1 blend of Cocchi Americano to Punt e Mes, and Fever Tree Light tonic water. Bold, blush, and bitter up front, drying out in the aftertaste... If this was batched and bottled commercially, I might buy it by the case.

Very nice and refreshing gentian cocktail! I used Bonal in place of Byrrh, and found the base (Suze and Bonal) to be very nice on it's own, but really liked the effect of tonic water - diluting the drink and adding a bit of quinine bitterness.

Thanks, I much appreciate expanding on low alcohol drinks like this one. Schweppes tonic did a good job — the crispness suits it well. One basil top was also an excellent complement. I also agree that it is absolutely possible to play with proportions here — Byrrh and tonic is an excellent combo on its own!

Nice bitterness but by my taste too sweet for a drink thats supposed to be refreshing.

More byrrh.
