The Cat's Whiskers cocktail is quite a nightcap. It features 2 of my favorite Amaros Cynar and Fernet. It took quite some time to keep adjusting and achieve the right balance however I'm very pleased with the end result. The Brooklyn Gin really plays a nice role mingling with the other herbaceous flavors, the lavender really comes through in harmony with the Fernet. The Cynar also plays a major role here and really coats the mouth with its bitter-sweet profile along with the B & B which gives it a great overall finish. Lastly the orange oils give it that slight touch of soft citrus notes which leaves you wanting to slow sip and enjoy the moment. If your looking for that ultimate stirred cocktail with a new dimension, then by all means try the Cat's Whiskers. May you imbibe well!
