Wonderful 1930s cocktail. Perfect for after dinner or in the evening. Delightfully drier than I was expecting. Nice hint of cherry and herbal burst.

nice, but didn't quite come together for me... although it might have been because I had just tried Gromit Eduardsen's variant linked above, which was quite special.

I really enjoyed this cocktail. Such a simple mix of commonly use Spirits and liquors but it comes out really good and not too sugary in this drink. The overall taste for me is a not too sweet cherry delight.

Good to see this decent old cocktail named after my city here on Diffords. Just like to draw the attention to small mistake in the original recipe shown here. The handwriting reads 5 dashed 'sour-sweet' and 1 dash Angostura. Henrik Steen Petersen explains that 'sour-sweet' is 1/2 lemon juice and 1/2 simple sirup. Anyway, your take on the recipe is better than the original, Simon.

Many thanks, Morten. I've corrected the quote above (I struggled to read the pocketbook) and I have also added the Amalienborg cocktail you kindly shared. (This will appear via the "More cocktails by Axel Sørensen" link above shortly.)
