History

Spirit-forward, leaning slightly sweet from bittersweet notes, featuring cherry and citrus fruitiness. Ideal as an after-dinner digestif.

This is an adaptation of a recipe by Chuck Taggart, a Los Angeles-based disc jockey with New Orleanian ties, known for his cocktail enthusiasm and GumboPages.com. Taggart created the drink in 2003 in anticipation of a visit from his English friends, John and Fiona, leading him to choose a gin-based beverage. The volume of each ingredient has been reduced by one-third from Taggart's original recipe, which also suggested Torani Amer as an alternative to Amer Picon.
