An unbelievably delicious and smooth drink. Difford’s specs are perfect (however I use heavy/double cream instead of single cream). The original method is rather over-complicated. Definitely just a show for the times. I reverse dry shook it, then topped with soda till the glass edge. Let it sit for 1 min. Then top with more soda slowly and it makes a beautiful soufflé.

In Estonia this beats out everything at the same price point, though it won't stop people from suffering the local acetone to save a couple euros.

4:2:1 or 5:2:1 is now my favorite ratio. 8:3:2 was too sweet. I don't normally like a full 30ml of lime juice in my drinks, though with the sweetness of white rum it really works.

Bob's lavender bitters are great, but I must say these are even better, especially for how balanced and versatile they are.
