Not having read your comment, just as I was mixing this drink to bring in the New Year as one of Difford's suggested cocktails of the day, my wife by fluke put out some Époisses and Délice de Bourgogne cheese and some feta stuffed olives left over from an extended familyXMAS dinner. Notwithstanding both are made with cows milk and not goat, you are correct, it makes a brilliant pairing! (Idea: Not that Simon and web team don't have enough on their platter, but a food pairing suggestion with each cocktail would be very cool! If it's good enough for the wine geeks of which I consider myself one, why not cocktail pairings!)
