I used Haymans Old Tom which is a bit sweeter than London Dry, and I feel that was enough sweetness for me not to need the simple. This really is a beautiful drink.

This was great. No one flavour stood out. Well balanced, and, unfortunately, very easy to drink. Could be dangerous.

Sans the syrup it's great!

I agree about the lemon juice. Delicious just slightly reducing the amount. Also agree about Cocchi Americano. A delicious Easter cocktail!

Lillet was stripped of its bitterness in the 80s, robbing CR#2 of a key note. I would never use it now. However Cocchi Americano has come to the rescue which, together with triple sec, gin and fresh lemon juice all in equal measure (preceded by an absinthe wash of the glass), hits the mark perfectly every time.

Omit the syrup and this is one of my favourite drinks.

Call me a heretic, but I subbed an Amontillado for the Lillet. Corpse Revivers have had enough variation over the last century, I think the corpses won't spin in their graves too much.

I enjoyed my first sip. Then the wife claimed the rest. Making a second one in a few seconds.

I tried this with a green tea infused Bombay sapphire last night and was very pleased with the added floral notes from the tea. It might be my standard house variant for this cocktail.
