First off, Happy Memorial Day 2017.  This drink is actually the first in the book, so I've looked at it probably 100 times.  I've been wanting to try it for a while but I haven't been able to find Marie Brizard products anywhere here in Houston.  I luckily sent a chance email to the Spec's people and they were somehow able to score me a bottle.

I can't say this drink is a favorite of mine but it does seem to have a little of everything.  Dryness from the gin.  Sweetness from the White Cacao.  Bitterness from the Cocchi.  Tartness from the lemon.  I guess that's why they named it after an era, it has everything.
