Death In The Gulf Stream
Ingredients
- 2 oz Oude genever
- 1 oz Lime juice
- 1⁄2 oz Sugar syrup 'rich'
- 4 dash Angostura Aromatic Bitters
- 1 grated zest of Lime
Method
Glassware:
Serve in a Collins glass
Method:
SHAKE all ingredients with ice and strain into glass filled with crushed ice. CHURN (stir) and add more ice until glass is filled.
History:
According to Charles H. Baker's 1946 The Gentleman's Companion, this libation was a favourite of Ernest Hemingway.
Review:
Remembering that Hemingway was a diabetic so had a very sour tooth, we believe this drink needs more than 'one teaspoon' of sugar. Thus we've added half a shot of sugar syrup to the original recipe. It also benefits from dilution, so be sure to shake well and churn in the glass.
