I’d love to know the original, “unbalanced”, version of this cocktail!
Except that Cointreau goes cloudy when mixed with any amount of water, as it does when mixed with ice which melts. If you want a clear drink don't use Cointreau.
Did Victor Bergeron really spell “tooth” with a U instead of the second O?
I tried it again using 50ml of London Dry Gin and 20ml each of the Triple Sec (Cointreau) and Blue Curaçao (De Kuyper) and a lemon zest twist expressed over the drink and dropped into it and that is much more to my liking.
I suppose it is no longer a Blue Riband though.
