Shake, strain into an absinthe-rinsed coupe.
- Made with Monkey Shoulder, Plymouth sloe gin. Balanced, distinct if not overwhelming apricot flavor. Would try again with different scotch.
- Ratings weren’t great, but I’m curious,
- Fruity and accessible, but also has some nice complexity.
- The Modern Cocktail — Blended Scotch, Sloe gin, Absinthe, Orange bitters, Lemon juice, Sugar, Brandied cherry
- Hawkeye — Bourbon, Sloe gin, Apple brandy, Lemon juice, Lemon peel
- Black Hawk Cocktail — Bourbon, Sloe gin, Lemon juice
- Twelve Mile Limit — Light rum, Brandy, Rye, Grenadine, Lemon juice, Lemon zest
- Tin City — Brandy, Suze, Cassis, Lemon bitters, Lime juice
Common sense and the source both have this drink shaken rather than stirred.
Typo. Thanks for catching!
Interesting combination and definitely has some interesting layers. I did this with naked grouse and suspect it would be better served by a less sherry bomb scotch. Still definitely worth making again.
David Wondrich relays Charlie Mahoney's Modern Cocktail, the precursor that has sugar instead of honey, and orange bitters, and a maraschino cherry.
