Serve in a Coupe glass
3⁄4 oz | Rémy Martin V.S.O.P. cognac |
3⁄4 oz | Calvados / apple brandy / straight applejack |
3⁄4 oz | Light white rum (charcoal-filtered 1-4 years old) |
3⁄4 oz | Dubonnet/French rouge aromatised wine |
A trio of spirits tamed by a splash of aromatised wine. Temperature of serve is key so be sure to chill your glass and ideally your ingredients well. Although not classic, I like to serve with an orange zest twist.
Adapted from a recipe in Harry Craddock's 1930 The Savoy Cocktail Book. The Savoy recipe calls for Hercules, a sadly long since defunct product that vintage newspaper advertisements for the brand describe as being a "Maté-Wine Apéritif" with an "alcohol strength over 25°." Hence, I've used another wine-based aperitif.
WOW COCKTAIL.
