Lily | Cocktail Party

Lily

Crème de noyaux is a hard ingredient to justify buying, frankly – it’s similar to amaretto, but far more difficult to find, and it’s hardly used in anything aside from the classic Pink Squirrel. If you’ve bought that lovely red bottle and are looking for something to make the most of it, look no further than the Lily!

Hailing from Harry Craddock’s The Savoy Cocktail Book circa 1930, this recipe is a gem that shows off the full potential of this odd spirit. Gin and Lillet Blanc (a white wine apéritif) subtly harmonize with the delicate herbal notes of crème de noyaux that are so often lost in other recipes, while lemon brings out a light sweetness. The overall effect is smooth, simple, and delightful.

An awesome cocktail app with curated recipes

I'm shocked that there are no reviews listed for this app. I found it on reddit's cocktails forum. The drink list in this app is much shorter than in many of the other apps I've seen, but the quality and reliability of the recipes is much much higher. These are more like the drinks you would get at a good mixology bar instead of the drink equivalent of your aunt's jello fruit mold that people just "love." I much prefer a list of cocktails that are reliable, good and repeatable than a huge pile of garbage recipes. This app is great and delivers great, reliable cocktails.
