I was just teasing nb. I detest sweet drinks myself.

Hey, here's one you might try, although you'll need to get the Meyer
lemon juice from someone from up here. t's admittedly Delilah-esque.j
I haven't actually had it, but it's been in my recipe file for
awhile...

After School Special

Lillet Blond (a French vermouth/aperitif) is essential for this drink.
I suppose that (white) Dubonnet could stand in if absolutely
necessary, but I can't vouch for the results. If you don't have orange
bitters, regular bitters will do but will result in a pink drink.
A variation, which I have come to prefer over my original, is to
substitute a dash of green Chartreuse for the bitters.
2 fl oz Gin
1 fl oz Lillet Blond
1/4 fl oz Meyer lemon juice
Dash of Orange Bitters
Shake ingredients over ice and strain into chilled cocktail glass.
Garnish with an orange or lemon twist.
