Palms and pines

1 1⁄4 oz Suze
1 1⁄4 oz Lime juice
3⁄4 oz Orgeat
Instructions

Shake, strain, serve in coupe.

Notes

Nice tropical taste!
Fat 3/4 orgeat.
You can adjust orgeat to your taste up to 1oz but you'll need to bring lime to same ratio or more.
You can play with the ingredient's ratios to focus in one way or another...
Pine liqueur makes the difference, make sure to use a pine liqueur made of needles not stone fruits, you want it fresh!

Sour as hell, fruity as heaven

1 Cardamom
1 1⁄4 oz Lime juice
3⁄4 oz Suze
1⁄2 oz Orgeat
1⁄2 oz Pineapple liqueur, Giffard
Instructions

Muddle cardamom in tin, add ingredients, lot of ice, shake long. Serve in coupe.

Notes

Very sour, but it's the purpose in order to balance sweetness. Very nice interaction of orgeat and pineapple.

You can choose to muddle 1 to 3 cardamon depending on your taste.
At 3 it's overwhelming a bit.
