Review:

Ruby port contributes rich wine notes to this Scotch whisky-based cocktail, with rhubarb amaro contributing complex bittersweet flavours. The Sun Tavern's original spec calls for "oak bitters", but given its "Red" moniker, I opted for Peychaud's Bitters.

History:

Adapted from a drink created by Tommy Cummins and discovered in January 2017 at The Sun Tavern, Bethnal Green, London, England, which called for Nardini Rabarbaro Amaro instead of Cynar.
