London Cocktail

Chilled, diluted and very subtly sweetened gin invigorated by a hint of absinthe and zesty orange

Curious why the recipe calls for shaking over stirring?

That recipe, as per the original, is better with the extra dilution that comes with shaking. I've now adapted the recipe to be stirred.

For such a simple cocktail it's wonderfully flavoursome.

What a great cocktail. Simple and flavourful. Love the hint of absinthe.

Surprisingly tasty for such a relatively simple drink. I struggle to see how the addition of absinthe to the gin led to it being called the London Cocktail though!
