I’ve been going so hard on the Suze since I got it with zero regrets and this was a cocktail I made on the fly for my brother and I a couple weeks ago. I liked it so much I decided to make it again for a post, but even though it was delicious, I felt it needed something. I grabbed my trusty Flavor Bible to see what might pair nicely with pineapple and grabbed the cilantro from my fridge as soon as I read it! Pension sounds like pineapple and gentian so thats my big brain naming idea, but overall...

Editor's Note

Tanqueray TEN and Suze anchor this bright, herbaceous sour. Pineapple and cilantro provide a tropical, savory lift that keeps the palate engaged from the first sip to the last.
