Review:
Intended to be the last drink of the night on Christmas Eve/Day, or indeed any night when you desire a cocktail to transport you to a comfy chair beside a warming fire.
History:
Created on a beautifully warm blue-skied summer's evening in June 2022 by yours truly at the Clocktower in Rye, England. As I said, this is a transportive cocktail. Open fires are optional.
I've since discovered there is a cocktail named "The Kummel Ye Faithful" (made with equal parts gin, kummel, and cream) in the 1929 book Judge Jr. Here's How Again!.
The Kummel Ye Faithful
Judge Jr., Here's How Again, 1929
And how they will gather around if they know this is what they're going to get!
1/3 Gordon water
1/3 Kummel
1/3 Cream (thin)
Alcohol content:
