Mr F
Delicious. We tried it with génépy and the result is definitely on the sweet side, as advertised. Tried it again substituting Dolin dry white vermouth for the blanc, thinking it would pull back the sweetness. It did, but the drink was more balanced using blanc vermouth so just embrace the sweetness if you use génépy and make as directed.

Yum, made this with gin subbed for cognac, Salers, Dolin Blanc Vermouth, Paula's Orange Liqueur (I'm in Texas, y'all), and the sparkling water, and it was delicious. I stirred the spirits with ice as directed, added the oz of sparkling water, strained it into a chilled martini glass, then added the orange wedge with a gentle squeeze.

Absolutely delicious and very well rounded - perfect balance of sweet, floral, and bitter. Lemon peel was the perfect garnish to an upscale-bar quality drink :)

Made these with Suze and Driftless Glen brandy, as these were on hand. Wonderful cocktail! Have made several times now. Our version is reminiscent of a Margarita, and friends love them recommend highly!

Great nIght cap. Just happened to have Suze in our bar! Dolin white was the perfect vermouth. Wouldn’t change a thing.

version 2- use 1 oz gin rather than cognac version 3- use 1 oz cognac, 1 0z gin (no vermouth) , rest the same but a bit less cointreau

Delicious, but careful with volume
We’ve been making these with Suze and Driftless Glen reserve brandy — delicious — hard to have only one!

Used Suze and really liked it. Like a light margarita.

This was my favorite cocktail of 2021. I used Suze and Cointreau. It immediately became a staple in our household.
Essey
Just ordered the Suze to try this one out!

Genepy should be listed with the orange liqueurs as an option, since it is sweet, though also more complex.
