"This forgotten classic is an intersting one- dry, but also sweet. Stiff, but also light. I’m unsure how to accurately portray the strange quality of this cocktail from the Cafe Royal Cocktail Book in 1937. The author credits its creation to W. G. Crompton- whoever the hell he was.
I had Carefree Bourbon (thanks @CarefreeSpiritsDistillery) and Applejack instead of Calvados. I also have passion fruit syrup (thanks BG Reynolds) instead of juice or nectar along with REAL grenadine (also thanks to BG Reynolds). I did, however, have a lovely bunch of carnation boutonnières growing in my garden!
