History:
Adapted from a recipe by Chuck Taggart, the Los Angeles-based New Orleanian cocktail-loving disc jockey behind GumboPages.com. Chuck created this in 2003 ahead of a visit by English friends John and Fiona, so a gin-based libation seemed appropriate. (I've reduced the volume of each ingredient by one-third. Chuck's original recipe also calls for Torani Amer as a substitute for Amer Picon.)
Review:
Spirit-forward and just on the sweet side of bittersweet with cherry and citrus fruitiness. A perfect after-dinner digestif.
