Enjoying the contrast between the vintage and modern versions. Craddock’s herbal fruity goodness (the bitters are essential) reminded me of fancy fruit bonbons when I was little. Jason Clapham showcases the quality of each ingredient with laser precision and clarity - I happened to serve this version in a martini glass and seemed a good fit. I also tried a mashup version using Jason’s proportions and the green Chartreuse, but retaining the bitters and cherry garnish. I think Jason wins!
Very tasty, smooth, with nice cherry flavour - maybe a bit sweet (but that may be because I didn’t read the ‘after dinner’ part). Will have to try again with 1 part brandy.
