| 1 1/2 fl oz | Rutte Old Simon Genever |
| 1/2 fl oz | Oloroso sherry |
| 1/2 fl oz | Kirschwasser (cherry) eau-de-vie |
| 1/2 fl oz | Lemon juice (freshly squeezed) |
| 1/2 fl oz | Groseille (redcurrant) syrup |
Review:
Bready genever is aromatised with sherry and kirsch while red currant syrup provides the main flavour with its richness balanced by lemon juice.
History:
A riff on the classic Artist's Special, which is based on Irish Whiskey. The only change is to use Dutch genever in place of whisky – hence the name.
Created in January 2016 by yours truly (Simon Difford) at the Cabinet Room, London, England.
