Review:

The botanicals in the gin and the herbal Bénédictine combine well in this cocktail, which is balanced by the addition of bitters.

History:

A riff on the classic Gypsy Queen by yours truly and then revisited in January 2023 thanks to feedback from fellow Discerning Drinkers and a tweak to my formulation by John Hinojos.
