Rob Simpson

Balanced and tasty without actually being interesting.

This or a sidecar is my go-to for using up the inevitable couple of half oranges at end of shift.

Per Embury (rather sniffily as usual); "equal parts of gin and orange juice, with or without the white of an egg". Well you can drop me out of the egg thanks.

Happy world cocktail day

Can't get it to work in anything.
Seems dusty on the front end and totally lacking in the middle. Nothing much on the back end either, just loads of sweetness without any real kick. diabolical in an old fashioned, last thing it needs is dilution and sweetness.
Thought it might make a decent Manhattan with cocchi storico or antica formula, thought that pronounced corn sweetness could work well with the vanilla, it was ok but it wasn't great, still not enough body on the whisky.
