History

Created in 2013 by Andrea Montague from London, England. This cocktail won the Difford's Guide Beer-tail Competition for London Cocktail Week 2013, held on Friday 9th August 2013 at our own Cabinet Room in London.

Named after De Beauvoir Town, an area of north London boundaried by Kingsland Road to the east, Southgate Road to the west, the Regent's Canal in the south and Tottenham Road to the north. The cockney name for the area, Beavertown, is also the name of the brewery in Hackney whose Smog Rocket porter Andrea used in her winning cocktail.

Review

Richly flavoured and lusciously bittersweet with rye whiskey, bitter porter and sour lemon juice balancing hazelnut liqueur and brown sugar.

Made it with rye whiskey by Bob Dylan’s Heavens Door, amaretto (I didn’t have hazelnut liqueur) and a local brewery smoked porter (Allmouth by Pontus) it is a very nice cocktail.

I, too, used amaretto - a local distillery produce, and though it a very nice cocktail. I was a tad surprised by it, but I have made it a few times now and it somehow works.
