Review:

A sherry-forward, rye whiskey-laced aperitivo with delicate rich apricot.

History:

Adapted from a recipe created by bartender Tiffanie Barrie at One Flew South bar in Atlanta, USA.

Cab Calloway (1907 - 1994) was an American singer, songwriter, bandleader and dancer who was known for his energetic scat singing, particularly in his performance of Minnie the Moocher. He was associated with the Cotton Club in Harlem, known in cocktail circles thanks to Charlie Conolly's book The World Famous Cotton Club: 1939 Book of Mixed Drinks.
