History:
Adapted from a recipe created in 2025 by J. E. Clapham of Clapham Cocktails. Mr Clapham told us, "Devised to improve upon the far sweeter Pinto listed in Pioneers of Mixing (1934), since rum works complements Cherry Heering so well in the Ankle Breaker (a 50s concoction from Beachbum Berry's Remixed).
Review:
Rum-laced and bittersweet with rich cherry fruit and lemon freshness.
