I’m glad I tried this. I have bought a lot of liquor to make and try many drinks that I’ve never tried. It’s nice learning all the flavors and chemistry. I find the Ouzo tends to dominate in this, either intended or not. I will cut back on it next time, but I’m going to enjoy this one now.
A delightfully elegant cocktail. We softened it by using Maidenii Sweet Vermouth, which is lighter and more broadly botanical than the di Torinos, and by substituting 7.5ml Grozd Strumika Mastika for the 5ml Greek Ouzo...the Mastika is lighter and, for us, more versatile and better suited to cocktail making.
