Review

Some may want to stir this gin-laced aperitivo but it's better enlivened by shaking, as per the original 1933 recipe. Beware, this cocktail benefits from an orange zest twist but not a lemon twist.

Had to substitute damson gin for sloe as realised too late that I hadn’t decanted the sloe. But very nice all the same.

Can definitely smell and taste the Peychaud’s in this one. Balanced and not too sweet.

Great as an aperitif!

Good flavour but a tad sweet for me so next time I shall apply Grohusko's formula.
