History

This drink is aptly described as "an herbaceous Scotch sipper."

This classic, originally prepared with the whisky of the same name, is first documented in William James "Billy" Tarling's 1937 Café Royal Cocktail Book. That publication indicates the drink should be shaken, not stirred. The cocktail was invented by "E. Goodall", and the version presented here is based on an adaptation shared by J. E. Clapham of Clapham Cocktails. WHITE HORSE Invented by E. Goodall 1/2 White Horse Whisky. 1/2 French Vermouth. Good dash Benedictine. Dash Angostura Bitters. Shake.
