A classic recipe from The Savoy Cocktail Book, Harry Craddock's granddaddy of a cocktail classic that arguably kick-started (again) this whole shebang.
This is a simple recipe. 4 ingredients only. Deceptively easy to make and quite boozy!
A London Dry gin (don't get fancy here), Tempus Fugit's Creme de Noyaux, and Lillet Blanc to bring in the floral notes of Spring.
Take a sip and taste that pleasing blend of slight almond nuttiness, layered with red fruit and the delicate white wine aperitif.
Take a sip and savor the light flavors that still pack a punch.
Take a sip of cocktail history, and enjoy!
