If I’m not at home mixing cocktails, I’m probably out taking photos - possibly in the Antarctic. A gifted masterclass at a London 5th floor bar many years ago...

Love a classic Americano but tonight I created a Blood Orange version. Proportions same as above but using Campari, Antica Formula vermouth and Fever Tree Blood Orange Soda. Garnished with two slices of blood orange, one in the base of glass and one on top. Tastes like summer (even in March).
Smooth, herbal sipper. Great as a fireside companion. Also echo John’s comments. Just about as sweet as I can take and no more but perfectly balanced by the notes of ginger and bitters.
This is very nice indeed. Slightly on the sweet side for nous but delicious nevertheless. Happy to find a recipe for my recently purchased walnut bitters. Thinking of experimenting with a “Dirty Spanish Manhattan” by adding a little salt to balance out the sweetness.
Defo a surprising combo. Herbal/plant notes are a triumph. Sipping it right now and feeling transported to the glorious bars of Italy. Looking forward to experimenting with other gins/amaros (amari???)
