Trying out my new bottle of giffard banane du bresil. Combined it with sipsmith and fino sherry. Very nice! Definitely smells and tastes like banana. For my palate it could probably do with a bit less sugar syrup.

This is exactly how I like my cocktails! All about the base spirit with some lovely supporting flavours in the background. I used Hampden 8 years. I think it’s gorgeous. Not too sweet or sour for me and the triple sec is subtle. Don’t have any crushed ice so I just dumped some of my smallest ice cubes in the glass. Works fine.

This is a very pleasing combination of flavors. Not sweet at all and so easy to make.

Haven’t been this impressed by a new cocktail in quite some time. I really like it! I don’t have orgeat almond liqueur but orgeat syrup seems to work too. I used del maquey vida and hampden 8 years. They play very well together. And the bitters together with the 5-spice, it creates some kind of magic. I will certainly make this again.
