Phenomena is a great word this. I’ve been wondering about this for some time, so I’m glad you commented here—it’s reassuring to know I’m not the only one who would like to better understand it.

The sense of taste is indeed something to ponder, and I certainly have a lot to learn about it. It seems to be as much about psychology as physiology. The scent of orange says “sweet” to me, and so drinks with an orange nose will almost always come across as sweeter than if it were lemon instead.

How adding an orange peel over a lemon twist can increase sweetness is a mystery to me. And how upping the lemon juice doesn’t translate to more sourness on the palate is also strange. Rum on the other hand is far sweeter on the palate to me than brandy. You have an equal portion of sweet in each drink 1oz cointreau in one and 1/2 cointreau 1/2 benedictine in the other. If anything the rum version is sweeter to my taste though I would say both are well balanced. Just rambling about a phenomena I come across so often in the cocktail drinking world–the manifold ways in which cocktail enthusiasts relate to sweetness.

“…a nice, late summer feel,” I like that. I’m glad you enjoyed the posting.

Thanks for sharing. The addition of the rum in the “classic” version, definitely gives it a nice, late summer feel– a bit of island indulgence.

Thanks!
