History

A riff on the classic Artist's Special cocktail, which is based on Irish Whiskey. The only change is to use Dutch genever instead of whisky – hence the name.

Created in January 2016 by yours truly at the Cabinet Room, London, England.

Review

Bready genever is aromatised with sherry and kirsch while red currant syrup provides the main flavour with its richness balanced by lemon juice.

Great cocktail. Enjoyed with some sharp cheddar cheese and almonds. Sweetness is spot on and there balance of all the ingredients was perfect. Only thing we were missing was the garnish as fresh red currents are a bit hard to get in San Diego. Would definitely do again.
Cocktail would be wonderful, also, on a warm afternoon when you want to relax.
