Buttercup | Cocktail Party

Buttercup

The Buttercup is a warming, malty, just-sweet-enough cocktail originally from the Bols company, and later refined and perfected by master mixologist Simon Difford.

Difford advises that if you choose to use a lemon twist for garnish, you shouldn’t express it over the drink; the lemon oil is too strong and will overpower the butterscotch. We like the scent of the twist, but we do agree with Diffords’ postulate.

Oude genever is better than jonge here, but either one is acceptable.

Terrific Design!

Absolutely love this app. Gives a great visual representation of the ingredients and the user interface is well designed. Been using it to learn how to make cocktails, the descriptions are great about the drinks. As a novice barman, I love that I am learning the origin of the drink and alternative ways to make the drink. Be prepared to have a wide range of alcohol at you disposal! I can make heaps of drinks with the decent home collection I have, but seeing all the recipes what I could make gets me excited! Highly recommended, everyone loves the person who makes excellent drinks!
