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

Greetings Mike. Frankly you're going to want to try them all. Like John, I haven't tried the Mattei. Several cocktails on the site call for a Kina and an aromatized wine. Lillet Blanc and Kina L'Aéro are marvelous together. Good place to start. Check out a Depth Charge (Savoy recipe). They are wine based, should be refrigerated and perhaps be consumed with an alacrity of haste. I love Bonal and it works well in everything I've tried.

Thanks Calvin. The affinity for apricot that's been noted in these pages makes the L'Aero d'Or tempting, but I have just discovered that the Mattei Cap Corse Blanc also comes in a half-bottle. I'll start there.

Wish I could find it locally.
