History

Created in January 2016 by yours truly at the Cabinet Room, London, England. This cocktail combines elements from the two best-known vintage cocktails using groseille (redcurrant) syrup. The whiskey element comes from the Artist's Special while the kirsch, sherry and dry vermouth come from the Nineteen-Twenty.

Review

Despite its soft salmon pink hue this cocktail is boozy with Irish whiskey and sherry to the fore. Oloroso sherry and dry vermouth balance each other harmoniously with red currant syrup adding flavour and richness.

What a great aperitif. Many flavours, but all working together. Another Simon hit for our repertoire.

Hope to find a local source for fresh redcurrant berries some day so I can try this. I substituted rasberry liqueur and was quite pleased with the results.
