Raimbaut
Beautifully balanced and aromatic. A cheeky little aperitif. This cocktail vaguely resembles The Savoy Corpse Reviver No. 2, though the absence of lemon...

Seems pretty similar to a Campden, albeit differently proportioned

Good observation. I've added a link to the Campden above.

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.

Nice orange martini style, subtle simp,e and tasty. No info about the name, is it related to Raimbaut of Orange, possibly a poet/troubadour?

Seems I may have had too many cocktails!

It is indeed. I think you've missed the notes under "history" above.

Too sweeeet

Cheeky is right. Invites meddling with the vermouth component to taste.

Tried Cocchi Americano but reduced proportion and it really worked a treat.
