History

This cocktail appears in Harry Craddock's 1930 The Savoy Cocktail Book as "Rose Cocktail (French Style No. 1.)" and also, with slightly less gin, in the 1929 book Cocktails de Paris as "Rose du Roy" where it is credited to a bartender named Charles from the Pavillon Henry IV hotel in St-Germain, Paris. The notation also says this cocktail won the Cup of Honour at the Professional Bartenders Championship held in Paris on 2nd February 1929.

Tried this with Bombay Sapphire and Noilly Prat, two half-size stirs testing Mariquinhas and Luxardo Sangue Morlacco. The former ends up tasting like a Gin & It, while the latter has more cherry and seems a bit unbalanced, burying the vermouth a bit. The uncalculated blend between both versions (married merge) had a bit of both. Good excuse to waste (err savor) a cherry garnish.

Not a fan of cherry brandy but when the cupboard needs clearing out this is worth making. A little too sweet for me but tasty for one.
