My personal favorite gin. Much more interesting than the run of the mill major labels and well worth a try if you can find it. Between this and Venus No. 2, I prefer No. 1.

Very nice Manhattan variation as written, but at 2.2 standard drinks I’ll probably make 1 or 1 1/2 of them next time for the evening cocktail for two. Always good to find a really nice two (not counting bitters) ingredient cocktail.

Hmmm… mixed a batch of two and added Peychaud’s to one - for science. Both of us thought that it actually lost something with the bitters. Quite a lovely cocktail for sipping on the porch.

Nice sipper for a Summer afternoon on the porch. Just a nit - there’s not an alcohol content listing for this recipe. It’s a nice touch to have the standard drink information to encourage responsible consumption. I really appreciate that feature of the website.
