Definitely dry "Martini" notes with slight sweetness that finishes with the orange bitters. Very nice cocktail. Will add to rotation.

Lovely cocktail and as suggested by John Hinojos, an excellent before dinner drink. I would add that if using grenadine rather than pomegranate syrup, the choice of grenadine is critical. By that I mean, this drink benefits from (requires?) home made grenadine!

Very delightful and much more complex in flavour than I was expecting. Not overly sweet and perfect for before dinner. Will definitely have this one again.

Unusually complex with lots of layers of taste. Not too sweet. It doesn't taste like but I think this a bit of a smiling assassin.

My old cocktail book suggests you can substitute dry orange curacao for orange bitters

I’ve replaced the grenadine with a violet syrup, is more discret and better to taste ?

This is a deceptively light and crisp drink. The touch of sweetness from the grenadine really balances it out.

Very nice, not too sweet with a good complexity. We enjoyed it more than the Pall Mall cocktail we had last night, which was similar but a bit too sweet. It’s also an opportunity to use cherries as a garnish, which is a positive for both of us ?.
