The Stork Club had a 1:1 recipe, so that would have knocked Marc and Shelly right out! I will try with 4:1 and 5:1 to see how those fly, but this creme de menthe changes things enough that you want more not less. A sharper cognac is the other change I will try.
A good night, indeed, Squire Doug. I quite liked the Bitch Please, and it went well with whisky to my recollection (as clouded as it may have been).
