A refined sweet martini. Excellent. Sampled this with Cocchi Dopo Teatro - I think it probably needs a rich vermouth - and Ableforth's Bathtub gin. This recipe is a keeper.

Fantastic drink, ambosia! I enjoyed this one very much using the mighty Sazerac Rye. (I skipped the syrup and reduced the Ango to a single dash, which suits my 'senior' palate.)

Tried this using Mezan Jamaica XO. Fantastic! Then again, I'm a big fan of the Last Word, so it was always going to be a winner in my book.

This is one of the greats, though, as so often with the Savoy Cocktail Book, it calls for premium ingredients.
