Renaissance
Spirituous and bittersweet with a cleansing citrusy bite and underlying cognac complexity, this cocktail is suited to both aperitif and after-dinner occasions

I used a couple of English ingredients for this one. Burnt Faith Brandy and Mouse Kingdom’s Dry Limoncello (plus Cinzano Rosso and Bitter Truth Bitters)
Initially dry but opens up as you drink. Deep cognac flavours and deep lemon make it interesting. I’m not sure I needed the bitters but an extra 5-10 ml of sweet vermouth wouldn’t go amiss.
