This cocktail originally appears in William Tarling's 1937 Café Royal Cocktail Book where its creation is attributed to one A. G. Scott. We've respected...
Perfect, strong Prohibition era cocktail. We are not big fans of Littet, so substituted our favourite, Cocchi Americao, It was great. Hints of spices from the Peychaud bitters. Something to really get ready for a nice supper.
Definitely a 9/10 on the Boozy scale! You can’t binge drink on this. The Lillet reigns it back from a 10/10 and gives some extra fruit flavours. I like Peychaud’s Bitters and that gives a lingering finish.
Not outstanding but I prefer with angostura over peychaud bitters.

IMO, an improved Saratoga. Best made with cask strength spirits. Not sure about the Peychaud's bitters, I prefer an aromatic bitter with less cinnamon than Ango -- Boker's or Jerry Thomas Decanter work v well.
