History

The choice of genever and orange curaçao greatly affects the balance. A drier, high alcohol curaçao produces a correspondingly drier drink.

Created in 2015 by Salvatore Calabrese at his bar in London's Playboy Club, this drink was inspired by the vintage 'Gin Cocktail'—potentially the first gin cocktail ever—and Old Simon Rutte genever, which was becoming widely available across Europe at the time.
