Swiss Watch

30ml Kirsch, 30ml Suze, 30ml Yellow Chartreuse, 20ml lemon juice

The glass should be rimmed with sugar but personally I prefer it without. Oh and sorry Mari Jo Jones I can’t deliver.

Last Voyage

40ml Aperol, 40ml gin, 40ml Cointreau Blood Orange, 80ml pineapple, 20ml lime juice, 10ml simple syrup

This one I first had in the Ensembe Lounge on Reflection 5 years ago and it has been a favourite since then. We came home that year through Fiumicino and I also found Cointreau blood orange for the first time. Enjoy a Last Voyage from Ensemble
