  • Garnish with lemon peel
  • Solid but unremarkable. A simpler cocktail from simpler times, perhaps.
  • A nice, accessible cocktail. Added 1d Bittermens Grapefruit bitters for a bit more depth, and used Cocchi Americano. I used Spanish Brandy; cognac would be better. — ★★★

Made with Italicus, Cap Corse quina, and a cheap brandy. Not bad. Definitely needs a good flavorful brandy.
