History

This cocktail first appears in Harry Johnson's 1900 Bartenders' Manual. It also features in Harry Craddock's 1930 Savoy Cocktail Book where Bokers bitters is replaced with orange bitters. It's worth noting that Harry Johnson's recipe states "3 or 4 dashes of bitters (Boker's genuine only)."

Review

A short, sharp and very satisfying bracer to prequal a good meal, or indeed chase such a meal.

Easy drinking, a bit thin though. It tastes primarily of cognac diluted with dry vermouth.. I added barspoon extra Triple Sec, it made it more interesting to my taste buds. Next time I will add one dash Peychau's bitter and one dash chocolate bitter to live up the cocktail.

Sooth and well balanced cocktail. Actually had this as a nightcap and it worked well also. Not sweet, but just a great, well-rounded cocktail.
