  • Nice but Campari overpowers it a bit. I added 1/2 oz. more Byrrh. More Byrrh, more better... also I used anejo tequila, cuz why not?
  • A bit thick and syrup-y to me. The gin in a traditional Negroni might be a better blend. Added orange bitters.

  • Tad sweet for a Martini drinker, quite delicious for a Vesper-lover. — ★★★★
  • My new go-to Martini alternative Another great variant- swap out the orange bitters with 1/2 tsp rose water for the White Lighter (in honor of the incredible Typhoon Album)
  • Fine alternative to a martini or vesper.

There are few cocktails that I rate 4.5 or 5: a Negroni or Manhattan are a few. Well, with this cocktail, I have to add one more. Truth be told, I was torn between rating White Light as 4.5 or 5.0. If I could use my own rating scale, I would rate it "Damn Good."

By the way, the gin I used is definitely topshelf. It is Tanqueray's Bloomsburg, which is labelled as "Limited Edition." If you're a gin drinker and can get this product, get it. You won't go wrong!

Jojiro commented on 4/13/2026:

It's interesting to run into Vesper variants in the wild, since even "what a good Vesper is" remains a pretty tricky question to answer. All the same, I think most Vesper fans would find this to be a pleasing sipper.

The recipe I see for Dale's Planter's Punch online uses 1/2 oz of Allspice Dram for a whole punchbowl, with 5 oz. of each of the rums. 1/2 oz for this size recipe is too much in my opinion.

Well, with summer nearly over, a great many of you have missed a great summer drink, one that you can drink several of without getting bombed (because of the preponderanace of Lillet Blanc), and enjoy the nice mixture of fruit flavors (thanks for the apricot liqueur and the grapefruit zest. I waivered between rating it 4.0 or 4.5. I'll leave it to you, who may rate it 5.0. Regardless, imbibe and enjoy, summer or autumn!

Is that 2 1/2 ounces of tea leaves or 2 1/2 ounces of brewed tea? The link is not very helpful.
