I loved the idea of this cocktail, so it was kinda disappointing to find out the reality doesn’t live up to the dream, because the lovely, ethereal, floral perfume wafting from the liqueurs in my mixing glass - this being the aspect of this drink I’d most loved - was all but obliterated when I duped all that brandy on top. If found there was no floral smell left, only a lingering trace of a taste that combined with a hefty amount of spirits reminded me of drinking perfume when I was little.
