Review:
When I first tried this (in November 2023) it seemed familiar but I this combination of ingredients didn't already exist on our database. Not the most exciting cocktail I've added to Difford's Guide but it's well-balanced sweet 'n' sour almond-laced flavour will appeal to many and upset few.
