I think the Orange bitters are essential. (Caveat: I did make this with the dregs of our Four Pillars Xmas gin, so maybe the citrus worked with the Christmas pudding notes therein?)

Very much enjoyed this. Have had a bottle of Parfait Amour gathering dust for a couple of years, which I bought before I knew I could source Creme de Violette here in Singapore. Having randomly read the Difford's review of the former (I was on a Bols trawl, I struck upon this cocktail. Surprising to see how few cocktails there are on the site with Parfait Amour, really. Maybe it's due a renaissance?

Had a version of this at the Jigger and Pony in Singapore. Absolutely wondrous. I think they make it with Perrier grapefruit and some Nikka Coffey Gin too. Am trying to recreate it as can't find any shred of a recipe online.

I was just checking the recipe as have acquired a wonderful lurid bottle of Midori. Lo and behold I was making a Melon Margarita all these years, thinking it was a Japanese Slipper. Not sure I like the look of the original - too sweet.

This looks great - I love the onus this website has towards 'perfect drinks', really brings balance. We are trying to tour the NYC boroughs during lockdown, but, alas, no Picon Amer here in Singapore. Also, we ran out of Bulleit Rye last week so have had to improvise a wee bit.

I love this cocktail - on a tour of all the New York boroughs at the moment, via this website. I also go for Tanqueray as my gin of choice.
