Nuitcap

1 oz Cognac
1 oz Bianco Vermouth
1⁄2 oz Salers Gentiane
1⁄4 oz Curaçao, Pierre Ferrand Dry Curaçao
1 oz Soda water (to top)
1 wdg Orange (or lemon twist, as garnish)
Instructions

Stir, strain, rocks, top, garnish.

Notes

Subbing génépy for the Salers moves it sweeter and more herbal; Suze instead bumps the bitterness and yellow color. Keep soda to one ounce, to add bubbles without making a spritz out of it.

unique and unusual. Not really my thing with all the gentian. It was a bit sweet so I added a bit of Campari which made it a bit more palatable to me, although more gentian-y
