Review:

Like a bottle of port, please be sure to pass this cocktail to the left, or at least drink using your left hand. You'll be rewarded with a spirituous bready vinous zesty orange flavoured cocktail that suits late-night imbibing.

Challenging right-handed drinkers to maintain drinking only using their left hand throughout the night makes for a great drinking game. Next round is on the first person to impulsively use the wrong hand.

History:

Created November 2016 by yours truly at the Cabinet Room, London, England and originally served on-the-rocks. Updated to a straight-up serve in September 2019.

As for the name, Google "Pass the Dutchie" (with a 't') by Musical Youth. Incidentally, a "dutchie" is a cast iron cooking pot (Dutch oven) and the song lyrics are, "Pass the dutchie 'pon de left 'and side...how does it feel when ya got no food?"
