A Christmas present!
First use in. Hunter’s Verdict an excellent spirit forward that should appeal to anyone who likes a Manhattan or Boulevardier.
This is the best possible way to use a bottle of prosecco, cava, spumante (or NV champagne you don’t like) in summer. In winter add these to a generous slug of sloe gin. You will immediately stop thinking ill of whoever brought these bottles to your dinner party!
Spot on. Tried it both ways - the Bianco version is a major step forward from the 'classic' recipe.

It's definitely with trying, and probably coming back to, but personally I am not sure any Rye + pineapple juice is the base for a 5* cocktail so far as my palate is a judge. But I wouldn't back my palate against yours, so you have try it, otherwise you will end up just concentrating on Negroni or Manhattan and their derivatives, which is not the worst default position!
