History

Eponymously named after an 1891 tragedy by Oscar Wilde, this "exhumed classic" cocktail was brought to our attention by Jason E. Clapham who added the plum bitters, "a greatly needed enhancement". The original recipe, sans bitters, appeared in Hugo Ensslin's 1916 Recipes for Mixed Drinks.

Continuing my love affair with Dubonnet - the perfect Dubonnet martini! Any suggestions for an alternative to Plum bitters?

Made this for my wife... she requested a slightly sweetened version. 1/2 bar spoon of syrup from a jar of Luxardo cherries did the trick.
