I love the way the Calvados and Yellow Chartreuse compliment each other, great way to enjoy your yellow Chartreuse! Boozy, definitely a sipper, but still a clean honey like finish. Great finale cocktail, not a preamble. I especially like the name of the cocktail! "Here's to the widow that lives on the hill, she want kiss you but her sister will" "Here's to her sister". WDB
Was surprised at how balanced, thought the Campari would be more pronounced. I did a hard shake with a gardenia petal in the tin and garnished with a fresh petal. Added a very nice floral nose to the cocktail. Gardenia petals are edible in low quantities. Very nice indeed! Nice mouth feel too!
I love this drink, tart and sour but the sloe gin adds a touch of sweetness to it, nicely balanced but next time I will do 1 oz each instead of 3/4 oz to last a little longer. I do a hard shake for 60 times to get the necessary dilution. Happy Birthday Charlie!
Outstanding, I used Raspberry jam, surprisingly balanced, the wine was a nice addition, definitely fine strain with seeded jams. Great drink for special occasions, like National Asparagus Week etc. ;)
