Perhaps including the Spotify link got me flagged as spam, so I'll say it again since I'm quite pleased with myself: "Another Day (Revised)" by the atrociously monikered The Album Leaf.

Many thanks, James. Sixteen years later, I have closure! Coincidently, Plaoma asked me to make her a Damm It Jimmy last night, not long before you gave me the track I've been hunting for.

I'd say it was more of an 8 on the boozy scale. My partner and I debated whether it was touch on the sweeter side but decided the balance was just about right thanks to the fino and vermouth. Definitely a very pleasant pre-dinner sipper with a crisp clean finish. I'd like to try different sakes to see how that influences the outcome

Agreed. I've moved to an 8 on the boozy scale. Your joice of sake will influence the taste. A fun to experiment.

This is a wonderful cocktail...beautifully poised and subtle. We had only Havana Club Anejo 3 Anos but will get hold of some Bacardi to give it a whirl with that. Anyway, bravo!

It's even better with the Bacardi Carta Blanca. A tantalizingly elusive balance between sweet and dry.

I literally just signed up to promote this cocktail.

It may not be for everyone (apparently some strange people don’t like sherry, dry vermouth, or sake) but to my taste it may be the most perfect cocktail. THANK YOU for this epic invention.

I don’t often have fino sherry so I usually resort to Dry Sack. But strangely I now prefer the nuttiness to the fino. Plus this makes for a great excuse to try more aged rum. But I keep coming back to the Bacardi Superior.

Many thanks, Steven. This is a cocktail which Paloma and I keep coming back to. It also batches well (with 27% dilution) to be placed in a freezer for four hours before guests arrive.

Exquisite! Really nice cocktail. (I made it with a Scottish rum - J.Gow - so does that make it a "See You Jimmy"? 🤓)

Simon, I just saw you’re in Sakura mood and this reminded me of a variety of this cocktail ( which is indeed one of my favorites):
Replace the syrup with Maraschino (or up it a bit) and you have a damned good Sakura, Jimmy. Add Cherry for garnish and consider to stir in a bit of the syrup from the cherry jar for a cherry blossom pinkish hue.

Simon, this is fabulous - it may very well be your best cocktail, as you say. Thank you.
