Oude Bloodhound

1 1⁄2 oz Oude genever, Bols
1 1⁄2 oz Sweet vermouth, Carpano Antica Formula
3⁄4 oz Strawberry shrub (See note)
1 twst Lemon peel (as garnish)
Instructions

Stir with ice and strain into a chilled Nick & Nora glass. Squeeze a small amount of lemon oil over the top of the glass and garnish with a lemon twist.

Notes

To make the strawberry shrub, mash up 12 oz of strawberries and mix in a sealable glass jar with 5 oz of sugar. Leave it in the refrigerator overnight. The next day, strain the liquid into a sterilized glass jar and mix in 1 oz of white balsamic vinegar. Store in the refrigerator. Let it settle for a day before using.

History

This cocktail is based on an old recipe called the Blood Hound, originally published by Tom Bullock in his book The Ideal Bartender in 1917. Bullock's recipe used Old Tom gin and fresh strawberries. In 1930, Harry Craddock published his own variation of the Bloodhound in the Savoy Cocktail Book which used dry gin, fresh strawberries and sweet and dry vermouth. This is my own variation on the Bloodhound using barrel aged genever and a white balsamic strawberry shrub.

  • Approximated Braulio with 1/2 del Capo and 1/2 Fernet Branca (no idea how accurate that substitution is). Had the interest of the amari but at an accessibly light intensity level. — ★★★★

  • Used Rothman and Winter. Campari improves Crème de Violette but I think that CdV is just not that.. good tasting.
  • Bitter tart. Cloudy purple (with R&W liqueur) is not beautiful, but the violette is surprisingly balanced. — ★★★★

It is sweet, but also tart, bitter, herbal, floral.  I looked at the recipe thinking I'd end up adding more lime, but it's tart as is.  Granted,  this recipe is for those that aren't afraid to use  violette more than a barspoon at a time...  one could always add more base spirit or top with soda

Surprised by this as Creme de Violette usually takes over. I cheated it down a notch but the violette didn't overpower. I might try it with Hendricks next time to see what adding another floral note does.

Phenomenal! I am impressed at the creator's thought to combine these items. If you have the ingredients which are cheap if you want it to be, make it!

I found this to be very sophisticated and delicious. I will totally make it again.  But what color is it supposed to be?  I used gold rum and did not have the "right" kind of sherry (I used amontillado), so it might be my fault that it turned out kind of grey.  (I mean, looking at the title, it's supposed to be blue I assume? : -) 

Curated to add source to Reference section. Thanks!

I used Brugal rum and Amontillado sherry. Very nice idea, but my balance was off - too much lime for me, and I upped the rum. That helped. Can't find that sherry, so I'll try with others or maybe just Punt es Mes or other vermouth. Color was ugly gray/green but I like that!
