marigold

1 1/2 oz Gin (Treehouse Percy's Gin)
1 1/2 oz Cocchi Americano
2 dash Fernet Branca (1/8 oz)
2 dash Lavender Bitters (Scrappy's)

Stir with ice, strain into a coupe glass, and garnish with an orange twist.Two Wednesdays ago, I ventured back to The Official Downtown Abbey Cocktail Book ghost written by Lou Bustamante and picked the Marigold. Lou named this Lady Edith-inspired riff on the Hanky Panky after Edith's daughter on the show. In the glass, the Marigold bloomed with orange, floral, pine, and grapefruit aromas. Next, pear and white grape notes on the sip attracted pine, apricot, menthol, and lavender flavors on the swallow.
