Instant Eggnog !

Eggnog has virtually the same ingredients as ice-cream – egg yolks, whipping cream, milk and sugar. Legendary bartender Harry Craddock worked this out in the 1920s at the American Bar at the Savoy, when he created the white cargo, blending equal parts gin and vanilla bean ice-cream. He garnished this frosty masterpiece with a grated nutmeg. For Christmas, try this classic with a dark rum or a scotch whisky.

Makes 1 glass good vanilla ice-cream 50ml aged rum 50ml, or whisky (or whiskey) nutmeg

Combine the ice-cream and the spirit in an empty cocktail shaker. Shake without ice. Pour into a chilled cocktail glass and grate nutmeg over the top.

3/4 oz Dolan dry vermouth

1/8 oz Absinthe Ordinaire

1/8 oz Creme de Violette

Stir vigorously with ice until extremely cold and strain into a coupe, express a lemon peel across the top and revel in the complex, ever evolving flavours.

Imbibing Mr. Boston: Champs-Élysées Cocktail

Imbibing Mr. Boston: Champs-Élysées Cocktail

Another beauty from Harry Craddock.  Found in the pages of the Savoy Cocktail Book, this looks to be a third cousin to the Sidecar cocktail. But, this is not for the faint of heart.  A seriously boozy tipple, the small serving size of this is well-chosen.  If you double the recipe you’re asking for trouble.

It’s possible I suppose that Mr. Craddock created this in tribute to the other famous…
