I can imagine how a touch of lime could work with the Japanese, giving it bit of a brightening. A half ounce seems a lot, but I look forward to trying it.

I’ve heard of the Giffard orgeat, but it doesn’t seem to be available in my region, so never tried it. I’ll watch for it, thanks!

I was fairly certain the recipe did not include it but it had been awhile since I made one so I wasn’t sure. It was actually quite tasty. I have since seen a recipe here and there that add 1/2 oz lime to the standard Cognac and orgeat measures. Definitely worth a try. On a side note he used a lovely french orgeat by Giffard which I had never seen but have been able to locate since. It really makes the difference in all my orgeat cocktails. Thanks for the Brandy Crusta post by the way. I never felt like doing the whole garnish routine and had forgotten how much I like it! Cheers!
