Shawn C commented on 12/10/2022:

A synergistic union of gimlet and daiquiri. I used some of my own lime cordial from last year (from a prodigious tree out back), infusing it with fresh lemon zest to get the flavor right before making the cocktail. I picked up some curry leaves a few days ago for cocktails. The combo with the Scarlet Ibis and Arrack works. There is a light, bright, grassy hogo and lime with the right balance of sweet and sour. This is a solid 4.

  • Used LA Favorite Blanc. The spirit dominates but in a good way. The rhum smells delicious and tastes complex.

  • Nice. Another strong, well balanced spirit first cocktail that uses Cynar well.
  • Very dry, grows on you as you sip.
