It’s my first foray into the use of orgeat. It is a tad sweet but a little boost of the lemon would resolve that. I found it balanced and enjoyed the vodka x triple sec x lemon interaction . The orgeat pulls it together with the fragrant mouthfeel. I will make it again.
I fell across this looking for a Gibson recipe as we ran out of lemons. In deep shock I was looking for a gin cocktail that didn’t need lemons and this caught my eye as fortunately we have oranges. It is superb. Chartreuse is not given enough credit. It’s a wonderful spirit.
