Strength & taste guide:


Review:

Beautifully balanced and aromatic. A cheeky little aperitif. This cocktail vaguely resembles The Savoy Corpse Reviver No. 2, though the absence of lemon juice and absinthe makes it a very different cocktail.

History:

Adapted from a recipe created by Ross Simmonds of the St. Edward's MCR at Oxford, England [I reduced volume by 33% to fit a Nick & Nora glass in place of the original coupe]. This cocktail is eponymously named after the 12th century troubadour, Count Raimbaut of Orange.

Nutrition:

One serving of Raimbaut contains 159 calories.

Alcohol content:

  • 1.3 standard drinks
  • 26.84% alc./vol. (53.68° proof)
  • 18.8 grams of pure alcohol
