Wasn’t expecting much from this cocktail, but this cocktail was better then expected, which I think what helped for me was using a more citrus ford dry gin, which pairs nicely with triple sec, so overall although not the best cocktail ever it’s still a great drink and is a solid 4 almost 4.5 stars
Recently found Kina L’Aero d’Or by accident while driving through Walla Walla, Washington (of all places). To highlight the L’Aero d’Or and hew close to Craddock’s original balance with a slightly less-sweet cocktail, I used 1 oz Hayman’s London Dry and 1/4 oz each of Cointreau, Lillet Blanc, and L’Aero d’Or. No orange zest so I used a lemon twist, which played nicely with the Cointreau and the aperitifs. Lovely complex blend of citrus fruit and herbal flavors, as in a Last Word.
