History

Unknown but in his 1922 Mixing Cocktails, Harry MacElhone credits the Duke of Manchester, William Angus Drogo Montagu (1877-1947). The Bloodhound first appears, in a simple form, in William Boothby's 1907 World Drinks, the, in Tom Bullock's 1917 The Ideal Bartender, and perhaps most notably in in Harry Craddock's 1930 The Savoy Cocktail Book.

Review

Looks like fruity disco drink fodder but is actually surprising dry and strong.

Yup, that's a weaker (perfect) martini with raspberries in. It's nice, just..it's not anything more than that.

Fruity and herbal. Not as sweet as I was expecting, but the combination of flavours are wonderfully surprising. Perfect for a Valentine's Day aperitif.
