This was notably dry and boozy for my palette using Ferrand dry curaçao. Next time I’d swap for Cointreau… but would it be better than either a champs elysee or a sidecar on its own? Unclear…

A surprising, tasty combination of flavors. Lime over lemon seemed questionable but it works nicely. As others have noted, we did find this a tad cloying as written (and using Giffard peach) , but upping the cognac to 2oz restored the balance (to our palate). Enjoy!

Swapped the campari and simple for 1/2oz aperol and found this to be quite well balanced and delicious

Spot on. I thought about playing with the proportions or swapping ingredients but why bother when those alternatives exist.

That said, it does only require common ingredients so if you don’t have a bottle of nonino or charteuse handy (the latter always a challenge these days) it’s a reasonable alternative.
