Vermouth-based and bittersweet with anise and fennel, and depending on your scotch, also faint smokiness

interesting that the pernod shows through so strong

It's a good cocktail, albeit it's a bit difficult to appreciate the whisky.

So simple but an astounding cocktail.
Possibly one of the least expensive cocktails I have made in a long time as well!
I used Ricard, Cinzano Rosso and M&S 8 year blended whisky.

Lovely drink. I find good anise based cocktails to be hard to come by, so this was a great find.

Added one 1/6 ounce of lemon juice to this and used Irish whiskey as my husband is from Ireland and we don’t have any scotch whiskey in the house lol! Was outstanding!

An excellent drink. Being out of Pernod, I replaced it with 5 ml Anisetta Meletti. This made the cocktail a bit too sweet for an aperitif, in my opinion. But I think this would make a great digestif.

Aah! No worries. Thanks for replying. Would you remember what vermouth did he used for you? I am really trying to recreate this recipe. Sounds delicious

Sorry. No idea which vermouth but worth remembering that back then there were fewer vermouths available so a high probability that is was Martini.

Hi Simon, Could you please shed more light on the history of this drink?

I've looked at notes area that accompanies each cocktail on our database and sadly it's blank. Pretty much all I know is that it's a recipe from gaz. It must date back at least 12 years and I can't remember if something he made for me, sent me, or I purloined from something he'd written. Sorry. Hopefully, my note keeping has improved.
