Review:
Gin-laced sweet and tart sloe berry sit over a savoury end to this particular Eclipse.
History:
Adapted from a recipe created in 1927 to Harry Craddock to celebrate the 1927 total solar eclipse across England that year and first published in his 1930 The Savoy Cocktail Book.
ECLIPSE COCKTAIL.
Harry Craddock, 1930
1/3 Dry Gin. 2/3 Sloe Gin.
Put enough Grenadine in a cocktail glass to cover a ripe olive. Mix the spirits together and pour gently onto the grenadine so that it does not mix. Squeeze orange peel on top.
