San Francisco

1 oz Sloe gin
1 oz Sweet vermouth
1 oz Dry vermouth
2 ds Bitters, Angostura
2 ds Orange bitters
Instructions

Stir. Up. No garnish.

Notes

Original calls for 1 dash each of Angostura and orange bitters, and a cherry garnish. The recipe I first saw uses 2 dashes of each, which I think adds to the complexity of the drink.

History

Originally in the Cafe Royal Cocktail Book from 1937.
