History:

This recipe is from Ryan Chetiyawardana in 2009, who shared his recipe at The Cabinet Room, London during the UK finals of that year's World Class bartending competition.

The Silk Stocking originated in the late 1970s - early 1980s, and the earliest cocktail book I've seen it referenced is as a blended cocktail in Helen Spence's 1982 book Cocktails For Two.

SILK STOCKINGS
This drink is as smooth as it sounds, and made in a blender. Into the blender cup pour three parts tequila, two parts white crème de cacao, three parts fresh cream and a dash of grenadine. Whizz up with a scoop of crushed ice and pour the mixture into a glass. Dust with a cinnamon and garnish with a cherry.
