Cocktain No 93 Queen Elizabeth

First taste was very disapointing, but I think that was because of the overly sweet one I had just before as its growing on me. Its a very complex mix of flavours and whilst I usually eyeball quantities I think this one shouldbe measured accurately for the right balance.

The sweet/sour combo of the lemon juice and the Cointreau are the striking flavours, but the gin and the anise are definitely present and the aniseed is getting stronger as time goes on. And of course there is the cherry at the end.

Recipe

2-3 ice cubes
