Review:
Looks like fruity disco drink fodder but is actually surprising dry and strong.
Variant:
Made with strawberries in place of raspberries.
History:
Unknown but in his 1922 Mixing Cocktails, Harry MacElhone credits the Duke of Manchester, William Angus Drogo Montagu (1877-1947). The Bloodhound first appears, in a simple form, in William Boothby's 1907 World Drinks, the, in Tom Bullock's 1917 The Ideal Bartender, and perhaps most notably in in Harry Craddock's 1930 The Savoy Cocktail Book.
