Admiral Cocktail, the

THE ADMIRAL COCKTAIL

And right away another cocktail! Just like with the Jupiter One I created yesterday, I wanted to take use of my glass set I bought from a flea market some time ago. I introduce you to the Admiral Cocktail.

Interestingly enough, it seems that there are a few version that hold the same name but are completely different when it comes down to what's in them. I checked a few references and if you do the same, you will probably find one cocktail with rye in it and a bunch of what-not.

Anyways, this is one version of this cocktail (not to mention the fact if you have a cocktail named something very general, it bounds to create a situation where in different countries you have completely different cocktails under the same name and especially when you even take a sneak&peek in the world of internet it'll just dumbstruck you :D):

• 3 cl cherry liqueur
• 4.5 cl gin
• juice from ½ a lime
• a cherry for garnish

Shake with ice the ingredients (save the cherry) and strain into a coupe. Garnish and serve.

In the nose, almost scentless with a small trace of cherry essence. An orange-like color with hues of red and the garnish cherry gives "depth"; a proper cherry even more. In the palate, a strong gin and later an even candy-like sweetness to it. Aftertaste a tad bitter. Presentation-wise, 3½/5 and the same goes to the taste, 3½/5.
