History

This cocktail was a combined effort by the staff of London's GE Club in January 2002. Linda, a waitress at the club who happens to be blonde, named it, although she said the name was inspired by the cocktail's straw colour.

Review

This delicate cocktail is best with freshly pressed apple juice and flavoursome Scotch with subtle peat.

This was a surprise. It tastes like Calvados. Not sure if it's good for the cocktail or bad for the bottle of Ch. du Breuil Fine Calvados I have that the cocktail actually tastes better!... ^^;

A nice drink I made with Kilchoman Coul Point but surely the recipe quantities would benefit from being rounded to make it more memorable and yield a similar effect.

Just used whatever Scotch I had. It's nice, with apple, sweet grain and subtle citrus. Could be an anytime drink.

Didn't like much. It's indeed peat and apple, but it gets kinda dull over time.

Very tasty. I used 45ml of Famous Grouse and 7.5ml of an Islay and the peat level was just right for the description.
