  • It's good, but Satan's Whiskers is in the same nature and better, so chances are I would make that rather than this. The lime juice is what makes this interesting. I faked Old tom with a mix of Tanq and Hendricks, which may

This is quite tasty, and I'm not usually a fan of cocktails with orange juice.

I'm a bit perplexed that someone would try to make it with Hendricks and Tanquerey as a substitute for Old Tom, as that combination would taste nothing whatsoever like Old Tom (it would be like mixing Bacardi and Appleton to substitute for Smith & Cross, or mixing Bourbon and Canadian Whiskey to substitute for Rye); mixing a Genever with either Hendricks or Tanquerey would come far closer to Old Tom, I would think. As an experiment, I did try this with a mix of Hendricks and Plymouth (no Tanquerey in the liquor cabinet, I still bear a grudge against the brand for their utterly horrible "mr. Jenkins" ad campaign from nearly 20 years ago) instead of Old Tom, and it was not very good.

  • Um Hanky Panky com Angostura. Petraske faz 60/30 e um twist de limão
  • For a heavily flavoured gin like Tanqueray Flor de Sevilla, this works well at 4:1, more like a Martini. A more neutral gin can let a nice vermouth shine 1:1.
  • Read about the East Ender varient
  • Try
  • Sweet but sophisticated. As simple as it is, this is a lovely drink. Worth retrying with 2:1 or 3:1 proportions.

  • Year Round Gin use Plymouth Gin
  • Made with Farmer's gin (which has a bit of mint already to it), Dolin red, and Noily Prat dry. A little stuck in no man's land between a dry, martini-like drink and a sweet minty drink. — ★★★
  • Made .75oz of each Vermouth to 1.5oz Gin.
