I made it...it was ok. Still looking for a home-run cocktail with calvados.
Try the Widow's Kiss
Many thanks, Louise. I've added a quote from the newspaper above. This suggests Fluffy Duch was served straight-up in a cocktail glass. However, the other vintage quote I've found suggests a long cocktail with soda. I wonder which came first - the fluffy duck or the egg? Be interesting to see what else turns up. Thanks again.
When I was working my way through Uni in the mid seventies, the head barman would pour the ingredients straight into an old fashioned glass. The trick I discovered was to add the other liquids first and then slowly pour the Advocate in on top of it. If you do it the other way around you end up with a gluey mess. There was no time for Cocktail shakers, so the whole thing was stirred rapidly with a straw, then topped up with lemonade or soda, which worked surprisingly well.
Lurid is the word. Years ago (mid '70's) when I was working my way through Uni, an experienced bar tender showed me how to make these on a Saturday night when the crowd were ten (10) deep at the bar: Vodka followed by lime cordial and soda, followed by Blue Curacao, in a 70's champagne glass. The look that transformed the drink, at that moment, will stay with me to this day.
