Copenhagen Cocktail
Bready notes in the genever combine with the cherry brandy and the lime juice to produce a complex bittersweet, jammy cocktail

as you say, Simon, jammy and deliciously bready with a fresh, almost herbal quality. Highly enjoyable.

Tasty, if...unexcitingly so.

Maybe I should mention that Lommebogen with some cocktail written down by Axel Sørensen in the late 1930s wasn't published until Dec 2013 by Henrik Steen Petersen. And that only part of the new book can be read online (but including recipe for Copenhagen cocktail 1939 and others)

Many thanks, Morten. I've added the recipe from Axel Sørensen's pocketbook. Please see the link to "Copenhagen Cocktail 1939" above.

Many thanks, Morten. I'll be sure to add Axel Sørensen's recipe to Difford's Guide. I'll add a link above when live.

A fine Danish Dutch concoction. Recommended by a Copenhagener here...

Smooth cocktail with a tang. The bitters come though

Using a 2:1 muscovado syrup instead of white syrup doesn't hurt this cocktail. It goes well with the cherry.
