Defo a surprising combo. Herbal/plant notes are a triumph. Sipping it right now and feeling transported to the glorious bars of Italy. Looking forward to experimenting with other gins/amaros (amari???)

Surprised by how much I could taste the gin (Ford's) in the balance but it was wonderfully melded. Definitely will go back and try other gins.

The mint and spearmint notes of the Lucano are very evident, balanced by the fruit, sweetness and bitter Cherry of the ingredients. Tangy and rich, while also refreshing. Perfectly balanced bitter sweet and herbal.

Interesting that there’s also a Lucky Luke with rather similar ingredients. Just a coincidence I wonder?

To look at the recipe you might think this is a bit like a gin Brooklyn. You'd be right. Excellent.
