AKA:

Dubbonet Cocktail

Review:

Zaza is a diminutive of Isabelle. But there is nothing diminutive about this simple, yet fantastic drink.

Variant:

If stirred this becomes a Dubonnet Cocktail No.1
Or, substitute sloe gin or fino sherry in place of gin.

History:

Adapted from a recipe in Harry Craddock's 1930 The Savoy Cocktail Book. It is named after a French play that was a hit around the verge of the 20th century and was followed by opera and film versions.

ZAZA COCKTAIL.
½ Dubonnet.
½ Dry Gin.
Shake well and strain into cocktail glass.

Harry Craddock, 1930
