Bombay No. 2

A smooth, complex, Sazerac-style Martini. I revisited my rendition of this cocktail in July 2021 to bring it a little nearer to that in The Savoy Cocktail...

Loving both cognac and absinthe, this was perfect. Could be used as both a before or after dinner cocktail. We had after dinner with a slice of orange pound cake. Went together perfectly. A little sweet and herbal. Wonderful and warming on a rainy evening.

Very interesting and tasty drink, but mine looks nothing like the picture! How do you get a. Frothy head on a stirred and fine strained drink?

We used to instruct to shake this cocktail, as per the original 1930 The Savoy Cocktail Book. I've now added this to our list of cocktails that need to be made for a new photograph. Thanks for pointing out.

A very fine drink. Rich, complex flavor as written by earlier commentators. The ingredients are perfectly balanced, wouldn’t want to change anything!

An interesting drink and very nice. Tastes like medicinal honey and the anise flavour gradually comes through.

Interesting blend of flavors. The absinthe was barely perceptible at the first sip, but became more prominent with time. Nice subtle citrus finish.

Sazerac-style comes through with this one with balanced sweetness. I like it super cold and the drink changes nicely as it warms with citrus and anise.
