Review:
Richly flavoured and brandy-laced. A delicious late-night libation.

Adapted from a recipe created by Jason E. Clapham at the St. Edward's MCR at Oxford, England. Originally made with Merlet Soeurs Cerises, this is "A cognac version of the gin-based Copenhagen, without the lemon. Named after the Merlet HQ." The recipe also called for Cocchi Storico Vermouth di Torino.
