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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
