Love this drink. One of the most overlooked classics out there. A lemon twist is essential to counter the sweetness of the Benedictine (but it’s not an overly sweet drink).
I thought the equal parts version was a bit too sweet for my tastes. I upped the gin, dropped the amaro and pamplemousse, and kept the lemon the same. Much more to my liking.
Really good, although probably a bit sweet for my profile as well. I’m curious to see if I might like Chase Hoffman’s version better. However, I do know of some people that would gravitate to this sweeter version.
Yes, this is an excellent, well balanced drink. Perhaps slightly on the sweeter side with the Benedictine, but it works well. Definitely in the rotation.
