Made with Plymouth Sloe Gin, Dolin Dry and Cocci Sweet. As described, it is very fruity and easy on the palate. The bitters play a crucial role in pulling it all together. Enjoyable.

No Amer Picon here in the USA, so made with equivalent amount of China China. I didn’t add triple sec or water, but stirred longer than normal. Really delicious and highly recommended. My choices: Wild Turkey 101 Rye, Dolin dry, Cocchi di Torino sweet, China China, Luxardo Maraschino.

A full barspoon of absinthe may give pause, but Discerning Drinkers need not worry; while absinthe is notable, it is in proper harmony with the sherry and cognac. A nice change of pace.

Beautifully written opening paragraph. A stirring reminder for all us to give thanks for the 2500 men that gave their lives that day.
