Marie-Therese Straus

We also used Averna and thought this was an outstanding cocktail. Juicy and bright but quite complex. A new favourite for us.

This was outstanding. We were looking for a lighter, more refreshing whiskey cocktail to beat the heat here in California and this was it. We did not have Meletti on hand but used Averna instead. This is just a beautiful balance of varied citrus flavours and richer notes from the bourbon and amaro. One of the best sour variations I've had in recent years; we'll be adding this to our permanent repertoire.

What a tasty, refreshing drink! My pineapple was very sweet so I cut back just a bit on that agave syrup but kept things as written otherwise. A sort of subtle tiki fusion thing, this is perfect for warm afternoons on the deck or mild evenings on the patio. Thank you for sharing it.

I really like this! So few ingredients and yet such a complex flavour (I did use London dry gin rather than Old Tom because I was too lazy to dig that bottle out). It's refreshing but has a hint of richness and the colour is stunning. This is going into my lower ABV aperitivo standard repertoire and I can't wait to make it for friends.
