East India Cocktail No. 2
Let’s try a cocktail from the 1880s, shall we?
This is the East India Cocktail No. 2, named after the East India Trading Company. Theres been a ton of renditions on this 18th century cocktail with ingredients being subbed in and out and multiple bartenders putting their own spin/riff on the original (sound familiar?) - one thing is certain though, this always had a brandy/cognac base spirit. Now why is this called the No. 2? Well… No. 1 used raspberries instead of pineapple, obviously.
Review at the end - let me know what y’all think of this spec - would you try it out? If so, what would you change?
Cheers y’all.
