Lord Suffolk Cocktail
1/8 Italian Vermouth. (1/4 oz Carpano Antica)
1/8 Cointreau. (1/4 oz Cointreau)
5/8 Gin. (1 1/4 oz Plymouth Gin)
1/8 Maraschino. (1/4 oz Luxardo Maraschino)
Shake (stir, please) well and strain into cocktail glass. (Lemon peel.)
Whichever Lord of Suffolk this cocktail refers to, he certainly had a sweet tooth!
It’s actually a pretty tasty cocktail with the funk of the Maraschino out front, just really, really sweet.
This post is one in a series documenting my ongoing effort to make all of the cocktails in the Savoy Cocktail Book, starting at the first, Abbey, and ending at the last, Zed.
Hmmm, this is intriguing. I expected a much darker color from the Carpano, but the mix sounds interesting.
Well, it is very little Carpano to the amount of the rest of the ingredients. Perhaps the light in the picture is also a little deceptive about the color?
