  • I used Tangueray Rangpur. Also the 1.75 oz gin and 0.75 oz lime. Very good. I think the celery bitters are important but haven't actually tried it with the orange.
  • Like a Diet Last Word. Straightforward and extremely easy to drink.
  • Shift lime juice to 0.75 oz, gin to 1.75 oz
  • Surprisingly dry and refreshing. Uncomplicated. Good, but not spectacular.
  • Forced to use orange bitters, but tasting it I can imagine celery bitters working really well.

  • Has the look and mouthfeel of a Midori sour and the taste of... just Chartreuse really. But that's OK!
  • Also make it without the lime juice
  • No GIn, Rum!

Don't know what a suitable substitute for the Bittermilk would be, but I don't think Bittermens would be it.

Have also garnished with a couple cardamom pods, or even a bit of alder smoked sea salt atop the foam. Go nuts.

Delicious! Dealing with the whole egg is a bit of a pain in the ass but gives good texture/creaminess. Didn't have Nocello, so subbed with Walnut bitters.
