“Dry curaçao, for example, was like the clarinet, with its penetrating and velvety note: kümmel matched the oboe with its sonorous nasal resonance; menthe and anisette were like the flute, at once honeyed and peppery, whimpering but muted; whereas kirsch, to complete the orchestra, is a wild trumpet blast; gin and whisky assault the palate with the strident blare of their cornets and trombones; marc-brandy raises the roof with its deafening hubbub of tubas.”
