Just wanted to check this only changes the flavour of the cocktail? I.e. doesn't give a different mouth feel or look any different?
Small typo, the paper was published in 1953 not '63. They won the Nobel in 1962.
The above recipe was ridiculously too floral for my taste. These are my adjustments: 20 ml dry vermouth (used Dolin dry, but I would opt for another brand, probably my fave Noilly Prat), 10 ml St. Germain, 5 ml rose water... Using that recipe, the elderflower looms large in the aftertaste, with the rose water adding some color. Plus, the herbal qualities of the gin and vermouth are now allowed to express themselves... Thrilled to finally utilize my rose water... (11 Jan 2023, 6:28a)
Just made with the updated 60/20/10/2.5 and spot on with floral balance I'd say.
What you suggest as an appropriate liqueur to match with gin? A sweet vermouth?
