Eagle's Dream (Robert Hess)

1 1⁄2 oz Gin
1⁄2 oz Crème de Violette
1⁄2 oz Lemon juice
1 oz Egg white
1⁄2 t Sugar
Instructions

Dry shake, shake, strain into a chilled coupe

Notes

I prefer the addition of orange bitters to cut down on the "damp" aroma egg white can sometimes give a lighter drink

History

This is Robert Hess' preferred version, not the original that appears in the Savoy:

1 Teaspoonful of Powdered Sugar.
The white of 1 Egg.
The Juice of 1/4 Lemon.
1/4 Crème Yvette.
3/4 Dry Gin.

I prefer Hess' recipe--it's not quite as sweet and the violette adds a nicer perfume

  • Beautiful in the glass but just too sweet. Subbed Ouzo for Turkish Yeni Raki which is similar. Maybe it's sweeter? I'll try again with Ouzo.

Hi guys, I'm new to the Kindred Cocktials process and this is actually my first ever comment on a recipe so please be nice.
I'am currently a 20 year old bartender from Perth, Australia and have been in the industry for nearly 2 years now.
I found this website as part of univeristy assignment where I to record my contibutions within a specific online community, so I chose KC.

I found this recipe whilst i was searching the datebase and decided to try it before a night out last thursday.
I have always been a big fan of rum and rum cocktails so really enjoyed this! I was suprised to taste how well the creme de cacao and that chocolate flavour worked which the rum and lime juice especially.

Just wondering what the thoughts would be on using a Light Spiced Rum instead of the Anejo?

Overall great recipe and would make/drink again!

DrunkLab commented on 4/20/2014:

Hello Rafe,

Welcome.

I see no reason why a light spiced rum wouldn't work. Obviously the cacao pairs well with the rich caramel and cocoa you get in an aged rum, but it should pair with the cinnamon/clove of an infused rum as well. Try it and let us know.

Cocktailian commented on 4/21/2014:

Welcome to the club! You're not only going to find great drinks and cocktail history here but really knowledgeable sounding boards for your ideas and great support from the KC community

rafewood35 commented on 4/21/2014:

Hey Guys

Thanks for the support, its much appreciated.

Really sound advice and comments, I get where your theory.
When I try it ill let you know!

drinkingandthinking commented on 8/09/2018:

Yikes! Way too much lime and can't taste the CdC... I added more CdC and a bit of Velvet Falernum to help tone down the lime and add some spice and sweet. This needs more work.

Fransos commented on 8/10/2018:

You should also try the Mulata Daiquiri from Ago Perrone  at The Connaught Bar in London. 1 1/2 aged rum, 3/4 lime, 3/4 Creme de cacao and 1/4 Maraschino. 

Infinity Is A Shark

1 oz Jamaican rum, Smith & Cross

Pergélisol

1 1⁄4 oz Gin, St. George Terroir
1⁄2 oz Zirbenz Stone Pine Liqueur
1⁄4 oz Amaretto, Lazzaroni
1 bsp Bénédictine
1⁄3 oz Lemon juice
Instructions

Shake, strain, up

History

"Pergélisol" is French for permafrost; I was playing around with Zirbenz and the flavor and scent made me think of the intense greenery still frozen by the winter. I wanted to pair it with herbal and resin-ie flavors, and the St George Terroir did an excellent job of supporting the rest of the ingredients while still maintaining the spruce and bay leaf notes.

bvankammen commented on 1/19/2016:

This is the least good cocktail using elderflower I've had.  I love this stuff but this is a miss:  too much elderflower or maybe the interaction with orange is wrong.  The original Corpse Reviver #2 is better.

Dungeoness commented on 5/21/2021:

Tart, sweet, wonderful nose where the elderflower and absinthe intertwine. Must shake double long (preferably with absinthe straight from the freezer) as it is best enjoyed as cold as possible.

drjones commented on 2/12/2023:

Was too sweet for me the first time I made it so next time I reduced the Cointreau & St. Germain to 2/3 oz and now is one of my top cocktails.
