History

Adapted from a recipe created in 2022 by J. E. Clapham of Clapham Cocktails. Named after one of the beloved Royal Pembroke Welsh Corgi dogs, Queen Elizabeth II owned more than 30 corgis from her accession in 1952 until her death in 2022.

Review

A delicious bittersweet aperitivo. Don't be tempted to stir, "shake it to wake it," and add dilution and an attractively foamy head.

First sample of the original Pippin. I used my favourite Courvoisier and had some distinctly spicy notes. Did not find excessively sweet, tho the cold weather may be affecting that judgment. Perhaps this is the “winter pippin”. Some nice bitterness on the after-palate from the Campari. Would happily make again.

Nice cocktail, love it but too sweet to my taste. I added some lemon juice, and it was more balanced according to my taste.

Many thanks for the tip, Morten. I'll be sure to give Pippin No. 2 a try.
