you cannot suit all the people all the time. This one is not for me.
Far too sweet. This combination smelled and tasted like medicine.
Not a classic.

Porn Star Martini

Often in restaurants and bars, the porn star martini has a fairly thick foam and is velvety to drink. having tried the above recipe i dont get this much foam. I have been using Giffard passion fruit liqueur instead of Passoa. Is that the reason? Can anyone advise on how to make the foam (without using eggs)?

Negroni Sour

Tried it with ferro china baliva instead of Campari.
So obviously this did give a brown colour to the cocktail.
Rather have the iron negroni cocktail or standard negroni.
Not convinced about the sour element added to this.

I have used the Avallen calvados which has this gorgeous apple flavour and reduced the amount of Antica Formula to 20ml. Partner felt it was well balanced this way. Served cocktail in Nick & Nora.

Thin Pink Line

Very clever - However I dont like having to wait 10 minutes for the thin line to appear. Personally I like to drink the cocktail cold. The amount of bitter was unpleasant for me.

This is a nice, tasty cocktail, simple to make.
As the quantity is quite small overall I have doubled the amount of gin which makes the drink still balanced given the Benedictine BOM is quite sweet.

I have really enjoyed a recipe of a cocktail of the same name (as served at Sloppy Joe’s bar in 1935) which is made of equal proportion (3/4oz) of white creme de cacao, cognac, gin and freshly squeezed lime juice. Ref Beachbum Berry’s potions of the Caribbean.
