It is a little fitting that this cocktail reminds the drinker of Dumbo. It tastes like an Aviation crashed into a Hemingway Daiquiri. For this I used Bloom gin, which is fabulously floral and my own blackberry brandy (pictured left). The rest reads like a classic recipe from Harry Craddock's book. You might even convince someone that it was named back in the 30s when Dumbo was a new film.
- 2 oz. London dry gin (Bloom used)
- 1 tsp. Luxardo maraschino
- 1 tsp. creme de mure (homemade blackberry brandy used)
- 3/4 oz. grapefruit juice
- 1/2 oz. lime juice
- 1 tsp. simple syrp
Combine all ingredients in a shaker with ice. Shake and strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
