Made with a great aged pisco instead of the mediocre cognac that I have. Turned out delicious, got into my favourites.
I've tried it with a different recipy and I modified it (and I use Salers instead of Suze), so far the better ratio to my taste was the following :
1,5 oz gin, 1 oz Lillet and 0,75 oz Salers/Suze.
It went into my top 10. Delicious.
I switched the cognac for a barrel-aged pisco, and used Salers. I found it really delicious, the anis notes from the absinthe add an exquisite complexity. I would rather drink it in a lowball glass with a big ice cube.
The gin quality is obviously crucial. I made the cocktail with some awesome gin from Marseille, France, and it was delicious.
