History

This drink is a sort of dry Bijou, with the Becherovka and Triple Sec partnering up to replace the Green Chartreuse.

Notes

Use 12 drops please (that is what we call a dash at Clapham Cocktails!) I use Bob's Bitters, which complement the Beefeater gin wonderfully.

The name refers to Beauchamp Tower, a part of the Tower of London used to house V.I.P. prisoners. (Thomas Beauchamp, 12th Earl of Warwick, was its first such resident, after being charged with high treason against Richard II in 1397.)

I wanted to try something unusual, and this cocktail really fits the bill. I confess up front that I have not tried Becherovka, and from the description of it, I thought that Allspice Dram might be a good substitute. The result was that the Allspice overpowered the mix. I'll try again when I put my hands on some Becherovka, and then I can make a more informed comment on this cocktail.

A Bijou with a red bitter liqueur rinse. Orange bitters might suggest an orange zest twist would better suit this cocktail, but the cleansing, drying...
