Leap Year
KLASSIKER · LONDON DRY GIN

Leap Year

Mixed once, for one night, in 1928 — and good enough that it outlasted the party by a century.

Utrustningen till drinken
Från bartendern

Harry Craddock mixed this at the Savoy Hotel for the leap-year celebrations of 29 February 1928, and claimed in print that it had been responsible for more proposals than any other cocktail ever mixed. Grand Marnier rather than plain triple sec is the point — the cognac base is what gives it weight.

Cocktails som den här

Journalist
London Dry Gin

Journalist

Perfect-martini structure — the two vermouths cancelling each other's extremes — with orange and lemon adding lift and the bitters pulling everything toward dry.

Hanky Panky
London Dry Gin

Hanky Panky

Rich and spirit-forward with juniper-driven gin meeting the lush sweetness of red vermouth, undercut by Fernet's intensely bitter, menthol-herbal punch. The finish is long, complex, and warming with a bittersweet aromatic depth.

Satan's Whiskers
London Dry Gin

Satan's Whiskers

Overwhelmingly orange in the best sense — three different expressions of it layered over a low, herbal vermouth base, finishing dry rather than sweet.

Corpse Reviver No. 1
Cognac

Corpse Reviver No. 1

Baked apple and dried apricot over cognac's grape sweetness, the vermouth adding bitter herbs and a long, warming, faintly leathery finish.
