OMG I find a bottle of Sloe and make a Charlie Chaplin, but then I remember the ktbgb!!!! Can't believe I didn't make my review since I finish several bottles of Sloe here. Is sweet, easy but complex: easty to drink seems like no booze at all, but the flavor with the Brandy and the sloe has so many layers: sweet - tart- sour- sweet again. Is like a very sofisticated and very obnoxious child talking - not with the adult profile of Martini-Martinez, but just quite, and mischievous .
I totally messed up the recipe, I read “Hayman” and reached for the Old Tom one, then my husband who was then reading me the recipe noticed I needed Sloe Gin. I had poured all the ingredients already I thought let’s add 15ml of Elephant Sloe Gin. It was still very drinkable. Will make it right another time just don’t tell Simon or we’ll never be invited to the Cabinet Room for a sipping party.
Honestly when you see photos of the Cabinet Room I just crawl under the carpet. I’ll get me coat
Currently working on a "Blast from the Past" menu, with old cocktails that have been forgotten to time, and I had just added this one to the list the other day. You gotta love an old cocktail named after an old movie.
