Houla Houla Cocktail
Orange generously laced with gin. Our previous version of this recipe called for just 20ml (⅔oz) orange juice, but I've come to realise this cocktail...

Found it in Munkepunke's Cocktail- und Bowlenbuch (A.R. Meyer 1929) 9. 22.

I used 3 day old squeezed orange juice in the fridge because I needed to get rid of it, and it was really meh. The Orange Curacao adjunct did a lot of heavy lifting for palate of this drink.

Really liked this cocktail, and I find the flavours exactly as I would expect from a vintage cocktail. Even with our tree ripened oranges, the cocktail was not sweet. It has a wonderful bitter flavour with the oranges and herbal of the gin. Great for a aperitif.
