It's an original drink, I liked how the absinthe gives it an interesting twist after the first sip.
I really enjoy the different citruses flavours present in there but next time I'll dial back the lemon juice to 15ml.
This one surprised me in a very good way. It's a rather unique combination of pea and cherry flavours with lemon, elderflower and the botanicals of gin supporting. It sounds adventurous but works wonders. It would be difficult to list the ingredients on a blind tasting.
This is an excellent summer drink. I sprayed the rose water on the glass rather than using drops so the rose smell is more obvious.
The prettiest drink I've ever made! The drink is a delight on a hot summer night.
The 75ml of bourbon definitely show there, it masks the complexity for me. Otherwise a good recipe. Not sure I would ask for second helpings though.
This one benefits from a little wait, it shows better after breathing a bit in my opinion and makes for a pleasant sipper.
I tried with Suze and Dubonnet, truly excellent.
I was very pleasantly surprised, it's a very good cocktail and I like the name a lot. Fruity, herbal, lightish: delicious!
I can see how this might be disappointing with a bad orange juice though.
Dang, I want to try that gin for the walk in the woodland flavors!
Check oit Silver Circle distillery, they do a fantastic job.
It's worth making sure the jam is well diluted before shaking. I thought it was easier with a jam taken off the fridge for a while.
This is a new use of Suze for me. Strangely enough, the bitterness of Suze blends perfectly with the citrus peel flavours and makes for a superb drink. I really enjoyed the smooth egg white addition.
The colour is fascinating. Can the flavour be elevated to match this? It's a tall order...
It works! I found myself hovering a few feet above the floor. Where is the recipe for the Landing Frenchman please?
It has the same colour as marmite and is potentially as divisive but I loved it.
This is a subtle drink where the two sherries have a great opportunity to reveal their respective character. Expressing the lemon twist is quite crucial, I'd recommend not skipping this step.
I tried this alongside the Right Charlie version with lemon juice. My preference goes to the latter although the difference is not huge. A deliious not-too-boozy drink in both cases.
This one requires precision. Whilst the haystack effect is definitely there, it's a bit of a niche flavour. Not a crowd pleaser but I personally liked it for its uniqueness.
With the right vermouths, this recipe yields a perfectly balanced drink. I really like the citrus peel finish that resonales with the gin. Last but not least, it's easy to remember and it can be produced even with the most depleted drinks cabinet.
An easy-to-make and yet original aperitve. Could be a quizz for non-Greek guests! I added a drop of celery bitter in it and thought it was a good move.
For some reason I tried a few variations previously but not the original. It's gorgeous! I didn't have my preferred vermouths but it was fantastic, so it could potentially blow my mind with the right brands.
