  • I went in expecting to love this one but it struck me as overworked and overly sweet.
  • 20200112 G.B. Fookes VSOP Champagne Cognac, Chateau du Breuil Calvados Pays d'Auge, Cointreau — ★★★★★
  • need to try
  • 1/15/18: Had to substitute Lairds bonded apple brandy and PF dry curaçao. Would reduce simple syrup next time. Might try Benedictine in place of the Chartreuse, similar to the Honeymoon.
  • Outstanding -- nice and refreshing but also complex -- the interplay of the cognac, calvados, and chartreuse is like an oblique curve that delivers you to the pineapple and lemon.
  • Actually better than a sidecar — ★★★★
  • Subbed pineapple syrup for pineapple juice and simple. Phenomenally delicious.
  • Deliciously complex and deep. Nicely balanced. Made with orange sub'd for pineapple. — ★★★★

REALLY good. Was tempted to dock half a star due to labor intensity, but couldn't do it. ✯✯✯✯✯

I agree. A bit fussy on the front end, but distinctive and complete when all is said and done. I taste the booze and all the other notes that wrap it like a beautiful Pucci scarf.
