Review:

Created in April 2017 by yours truly (Simon Difford) at the Cabinet Room, London, England.

History:

I mixed these two ingredients together just to ascertain where to go from there when creating a drink with Italicus. Then do I add a dash of maraschino, curaçao or bitters? I tried numerous liqueurs and bitters but I like the simplicity of this two ingredient cocktail. Now try it with gin – yup, Gin & It also works well. Later, the same mixing session also gave birth to For Sake's Sake.
