History
This cocktail has a soft salmon pink hue but is boozy, with Irish whiskey and sherry prominent. Oloroso sherry and dry vermouth balance harmoniously, while red currant syrup adds flavour and richness.
This cocktail incorporates elements from two well-known vintage cocktails that use groseille (redcurrant) syrup. The whiskey component is derived from the Artist's Special, while the kirsch, sherry, and dry vermouth are sourced from the Nineteen-Twenty.
