Correct. Hangovers are a state of mind. This is for the advanced level flaneur/contemplative 😘
I don’t normally have spare white wine hanging around, so have been waiting to try this for quite a while, and was not disappointed. Will repay careful balancing of the sweet-dry element. Definitely a recipe to keep in your arsenal.
I can see where the others are going with halving the sugar, but the full fruit pastille effect, if desired, will call for the full 10ml. I can think of at least one friend who will definitely prefer the latter.
Very pleasant. I only had the rather mediocre Weis Kirschwasser, but can see this angling for an extra hall a star with a nice one. Good call on the extra Dubonnet compared to Boothby.
