Sumptuously rich, sweet, and voluptuous. The raisin flavor from the sherry is a spectacular complement to the chocolate and orange of the liqueurs. A perfect nightcap for those who want something decadent to inspire their dreams.
Very strong flavours —just what I hope for in a cocktail! All of the ingredients blend well together, but the union of the Becherovka and Génépy is awe inspiring. Sublime.
I prefer a dark rum for this cocktail to add a touch of depth. And a couple of drops of orange and/or lime bitters is a nice balancer.
Made with Kendrick's Flora Adora Gin, this cocktail is heavenly. If you enjoy the occasional floral drink, this one should appeal beautifully as an apéritif. Highly recommended.
