Good drink! - If you like that try a "Tod Cooler"
2 oz gin
2/3 oz creme de cassis
2/3 oz lemon juice
4 oz soda water
(I've Americanised the measurements!)
My personal favorite is a Moscow Mule though:
2 ounces vodka (a good vodka - but don't go overboard using your finest kind)
3 ounces ginger beer (the hotter the better)
1 ounce lime juice (fresh is best)
muddle the sugar, cherry, bitters, and orange in the bottom of the glass before adding ice and bourbon. Some like it with a splash of water or club soda. Use a lowball glass
Pour it properly into a suitable pint glass and drink.
None of your fancy pancy cocktails. The word contains two analagies for penis for a reason you know!

I just made this as per your recipe. Quite good. Tart and spicy.

Mine: La Floridita Daiquiri, despite it being Hemingway's drink of choice.
Despite? DESPITE? Dear Papa!
I had a massive argument with two girls I was once travellign with about Hemingway. I love him, and I am only a fairly ineffectual, slightly camp man, so I never dug the bullfighting and the misogyny, but what a writer...
Peel 1 ripe mango and slice off the meaty part avoiding the nut in the middle.
Throw into a blender with ice, then add a small bit of limeade concentrate and generous amount of Malibu Rum. This recipe also works with Strawberry's instead of a mango. Whip cream if you prefer on top.
Discovered my fave cocktail by accident: bartender thot I said "one of mine, in one of hers".......I usta drink gold tequila and orange juice, ex wife drank fuzzy navels....... so.............
1 1/2 oz gold tequila, 1 1/2oz peach schnapps, orange juice, and crushed ice. I call it either a "demented fuzzy navel, or a furry navel"
enjoy.

Describing a flavour as bitter is interesting. Sweet, sour and salty are fairly simple, but 'bitter' almost seems to be a catch-all for all the other strong flavours, that when used in proportion give us our rich array of tastes.
A bitters is traditionally an alcoholic preparation flavored with botanical matter such that the end result is characterized by a bitter, sour, or bittersweet flavor. Numerous longstanding brands of bitters were originally developed as patent medicines, but are now sold as digestifs and cocktail flavorings.
However I look up angostura and see a T & T rum (mon).....buddy of mine is from Trinidad (mon) and always brings back killer rums unavailable here when he visits....mmmmmmm

Yes, but the thing (a class of flavouring liqueurs, basically) is being named after a flavour (bitter).
so.............
