Thompson Tour 75

The Thompson Tour 75 was created in celebration of the first 75 years of Mr Colin Thompson of Grayshott, and is based on the principles of the French 75. The ingredients are added from his key ports of travel. Ideally, the gin must be Tanqueray Ten, the lemon juice Sicilian, amaretto made with almonds from Mallorca, the apricot brandy from Corsica, and Limoncello from Amalfi, with a distinctive finish of Croatian Maraschino liqueur and garnish. To be totally authentic, the first sip should be taken standing in Brindisi at the base of the steps that mark the start of the Appian way.
