Charlie Lindbergh
Gin-laced with zesty citrus and rich apricot but made special and balanced by subtle quinine bitterness

Thoroughly enjoyed this with Kina L'Aero d'Or and Lillet Blanc, Rothman & Winter Orchard Apricot. Just tried again with Bonal/Lillet and Chris' specs. Fantastic! Do try.

Did a comparison and sticking with the spec version for my taste. I feel like reflects more the DNA of the drink as fruity, vinous, aromatic and bittersweet. I feel like tastes have gone through an extended period of tending to the purist and austere - boozy and intense in the cocktail world; minimalist and brutalist in the art , architecture and design spheres. But are now swinging back to the playful and frivolous, a development I heartily support!

Amen. Great observations. Good drink. But about that Charlie guy... three german mistresses and several never acknowledged children while he was married to Anne?
