This is a delightful burst of citrus with a smooth, sophisticated kick! 🍊✨ The blend of orange and vermouth creates a balanced sweetness, while the gin adds a perfect touch of warmth. Shaking it up made all the difference, giving it a refreshing zing! 🎉 Cheers! 🍹
Tried it and it's quite balanced. For a twist, add a sprig of fresh thyme. It adds an earthy note that complements the citrus.
This cocktail is smooth yet complex with a nice balance of sweetness and bitterness. Quick to make and the ingredients are easy to have on hand. It's a great choice if you're looking for something straightforward yet classy. Efficient recipe with a surprisingly refined taste.
