Old Etonian

Name: Old Etonian
Prep time: 3 min
Yield: 1 serving
Cuisine: Cocktail
Ingredients: 0.5 oz Gin; 0.5 oz Lillet® Blanc; 1 dash Orange Bitters; 1 dash Crème de Noyaux Liqueur

A delicate, low-ABV aperitif that balances gin's botanical clarity with Lillet Blanc's floral, wine-like sweetness and a whisper of almond from the crème de noyaux. Pale straw in color and served up with an orange twist, it tastes lightly citrusy, slightly bitter, and elegantly smooth. Worth trying if you want a refined, easy-drinking pre-dinner cocktail with subtle complexity.
