Tangy and distinctive almond-lemon flavours supported by subtle pineapple (juice) which is great for contributing froth to cocktails. Summery and sophisticated. A bit hard to find edible orchids in UK, so had to forgo that particular garnish, but we thought this a lovely combination of flavours with a dash of Peychaud's Bitters.
Delightful summer cocktail with the elderflower, vermouth and lemon in what seems to be an ideal balance. Can't find much more to say, except I plan to introduce several friends to this lovely drink!
Using the exact measurements given, same gin and Martini Extra Dry, I tried this first with Polish Krupnik Wiśnia - result - a traditional martini experience with a little cherry influence - dry and sophisticated; 2nd time with Cherry Heering - a velvety, darker-hued, overtly cherry drink with the orange bitters, apparently, shining through more directly. Either way, an excellent cocktail.
Having made a few tasty Diffords cocktails with basil, was pleased to find these 13 cocktails involving rosemary. Like another reviewer, I did a 5:1 ratio of Hayman's to Elderflower and also added 10 ml water to make the drink less sweet and intense. Rosemary works beautifully with the gin herbal notes. On a 2nd mix, a bigger sprig meant the rosemary predominated. Very summery and delicate!
