Serve in a Nick & Nora glass
1 1⁄2 oz | Canadian blended whisky |
1 oz | Aromatized wine (e.g. Lillet Blanc) |
1⁄2 oz | Rémy Martin V.S.O.P. cognac |
1 dash | Peychaud's or other Creole-style bitters |
Dry, aromatic and spirituous, this is a cocktail to be taken seriously, but if to your taste, with great enjoyment.
This cocktail originally appears in William James "Billy" Tarling's 1937 Café Royal Cocktail Book Coronation Edition, where its creation is attributed to one A. G. Scott. We've respected the proportions of the original recipe, but as recommended by fellow Discerning Drinker Jason E. Clapham, we've switched the original Angostura Bitters for Creole-style bitters.
