yeah I was just revisiting the white negroni with bonal/lillet split and it was absolutely superb. Spot on flavour depth and balance.
A Rob Roy taken in the direction of a Bobby Burns. Surprisingly drier and lighter than expected, in a good way. Very approachable and pleasant drinking. Would go very nicely with some Scottish shortbread.
Quite a different beast from the ‘classic’ 80s/90s rendition of French 75. The usual version is light and bright gin n fizz, this is much more sophisticated and grown up, almost malty. Had some homemade grenadine that I’d received as a present, which was much less sweet and needed doubling. Will try with regular commercial next time to compare.
Hold strong, my friend, it’s almost like a polarisation where the shrill get the airtime while the Discerning keep beavering at the grass roots level.
I’ve been reigning in the finances too. Prob a sensible time for it. .
