History

Adapted from a recipe in 2023 by Sam Penton at the Manor Bar in the Rosewood Miramar Beach Hotel, Montecito, California. Sam developed his cocktail for a literary villains-themed menu and named "Napoleon" after the Marxist pig in George Orwell's 1945 Animal Farm.

Review

Napoleon tendencies aside, this cocktail is bigger than its diminutive proportions, packed with bourbon-laced, expressive, bittersweet fruity sourness. Enjoy and make a pig of yourself!

Lovely cocktail but I’m afraid you have got a typo for the Campari. There is no way it should be 150ml right. We put in 15ml and it was fantastic.

Thanks Brian, and apologies. It should have been 5ml. Now corrected. (I selected 5, but on our system that is 5 x 30 = 150ml.)
