Review

You may recall Hong Kong Phooey, the 1970s Hanna-Barbera animated children's TV series featuring the mild-mannered janitor Penry and his superhero alter ego. This party cocktail is a little better than Penry's kung fu but deadly all the same.

As I was born in Hong Kong, I'd love to know the origin or history of this drink please.

It's one of the older cocktails on my database and sadly I didn't record where I came across it (in the early to mid-1990s).

Genever adds its own complexity to this version of the classic Holland House. The sugar syrup is my 'optional' addition, but for me it's essential.

While gin might lead this Negroni, port wine rounds and sets it apart from less noble Negronis.
