Shawn C commented on 10/22/2022:

Not a complex construction, but it works beautifully. Each element binds it together, including the orange peel (expressed mine then submerged it into the drink.) I am not normally a fan of banana since banana esters are a problem in various beers, but this cooked banana flavor works well with the Nardini and anejo tequila.

Gallflower

2 oz Gin, St. George Botanivore (Originally Castle & Key .)
3⁄4 oz Bruto Americano, St. George
1⁄8 oz Herbal liqueur, Jeppson's Malort
1⁄8 oz Underberg bitters
3⁄4 oz Rose liqueur, Combier
Instructions

Stir, strain into rocks glass with large ice cub, garnish with orange peel rosette (optional), serve.

Notes

Noticeable rose, soft herbal, vegetal notes, good mouthfeel, moderate licorice, protracted gentian bitterness. Note: It is difficult to find a substitute for Gammel Dansk (original). In this case, instead of 1 oz Gammel Dansk, I suggest 3/4 oz Bruto Americano, 1/8 oz Malört and 1/8 oz Underberg's bitters.

History

This began as a way to use up extra Rose liqueur. The best bitter found on my shelf to stand up against and blend with Combier Rose was Gammel Dansk, imported from a duty-free shop in Scandinavia.

Suze and cynar mellow into something you know there's suze because of gentian bitterness mark and the same for cynar but because of the aroma/ taste...

lesliec commented on 6/21/2020:

Didn't quite come together for me until wifey suggested a maraschino cherry. Adds just a touch more depth. And should that be dashes for the Ango/cream citrate, not drops?

Pangolindo commented on 6/22/2020:

Hi Lesliec, yes it's drops. I just wanted a bit more spices  without interfering too much with the flavor profile.

I do not like too much Angostura (1 or 2 dashes) when it's not the purpose of really tasting it.

For instance, one year ago i found i prefered an old fashionshed with 1 drop each ango, orange and peychaud bitters.

Maraschino cherry addition seems a very good idea. I love them!
