I don't know -- it's like 12 to 1 on the creme de menthe, so it might be okay. I'd probably use more bitters, but then I love playing with bitters. I have 6 different kinds in my cupboard! Angostura, Peychauds, Orange, and three I got for Christmas: Rhubarb, Cranberry, and Black Walnut. \o/

And a YES: I love the booties on the turkey, the woman's bracelet, and the teeny stylish cocktail glasses.

You can get a beautiful grapefruit bitters here in Australia.

As for this cocktail, yuck.

Does anyone actually ever use/buy curly leaf parsley except for an inedible garnish?

Turkeys certainly look a lot leaner back then!
