Two Thursdays ago, I was flipping through William Schmidt's The Flowing Bowl from 1892 and spotted the L'Aurore. The drink seemed like an interesting Martinez-like drink that also shared similarity with his Angelus. With L'Aurore meaning "the dawn," I am unsure if this was meant as a foglifter in the morning or whether it was just part of his astronomical drink naming tendency like The Sun.
The L'Aurore began with a Maraschino and anise aroma that led into a grape and spice sip. The savory gin flavors appeared on the swallow along with the Maraschino and absinthe, and the drink offered a delightful lingering chocolate note at the end.
