  • Tasty and delicious
  • Fantastically balanced and simple. Sweet, aromatic, floral and bright. I used Landy Connac VS, donlin rouge, martini dry, and cointreau,
  • Yeah this is a 5. Straight up, simple, grown up cocktail that has no pretensions and is hard to beat.
  • Related to the Black Feather and the Chanticleer as cocktails combining vermouth and triple sec. Also similar to Bombay Cocktail (No.2) with bitters instead of Absinthe.

This is also good with gin in place of brandy. I suppose that needs a new name.
