As a long standing member of this site, and a huge fan of Simon and his cocktails, I am somewhat demoralised to report that this is actually the worst and most unpleasant cocktail I have yet tasted. And I reckon I've made and consumed upward of a 1000, all taken from this site. It has notes of benylin and gripe water which shine through strongly. If you've ever sucked a dandelion stem, then you may remember the way your face would pucker up with the unpleasant sour tang of it. This cocktail replicates that feeling, perfectly. On a positive note, it looks utterly marvelous in a chilled martini glass. Then you taste it, and an angel dies in your mouth.

I think that is a bit harsh, it was more over ripe banana, pot pourri and a hint of soap.

Did this as a cocktail of the day, very surprised by how much we liked it (whiskey is not our usual base). Did drop the sugar syrup by half as we tend to like our cocktails on the less sweet side.
