Beautifully balanced and aromatic. A cheeky little aperitif. This cocktail vaguely resembles The Savoy Corpse Reviver No. 2, though the absence of lemon...
Enjoyed this cocktail but I think I might slightly cut down on the curaçao next time. Interesting about reducing the volume by 33% to fit a Nick and Nora glass. Notwithstanding this is a intended to be a short apertivo drink, I wanted a slight larger volume so increased the amounts by 25%; even with a long stir the added dilution didn't approach filling my 5oz / 150 ml Nick and Nora glass. I suspect that had I followed the recipe this would have been a very short drink indeed! A lovely drink regardless of the volume.
January is Open a bottle of Lillet month (for me) and this is definitely on the list! A delightful, light and balanced martini-esque drink. I’m making with bitter curaçao at the moment - might go a head-to-head with Cointreau and another Orange curaçao next?
I've been searching for a cocktail like this, mostly for an at least serviceable drink to help purge dwindling ingredients. This is relatively stellar. Gordon's Dry, Bauchant, Lillet Blanc. Fantastic. (13 Nov 2022, 2:14p)
Subtle, light and refreshing with a lovely light golden colour, slightly pink. I also tried this with Cocchi Americano Rosa - lovelier rose-gold colour - but Lillet Blanc makes for the best integrated flavour in this particular cocktail recipe.
