My first use of Belle de Brillet and what a wonderful cocktail. A balanced sour which maintains a freshness alongside the cognac and pear flavours.
A suitably intriguing cocktail with sweet red fruit, bitterness held in check and the Fernet’s menthol weaving between the two.
It looks nice and my partner liked it but it didn’t quite work for me. A clash of the herbal elements and vanilla for me…
I think the vermouth choice is important in this drink. I had a bottle of the very fruity Starlino Rosso vermouth open and with the Cynar, combined, they overpowered the rum. A bit more rum helped.
