Duke

Aperitif

Features

A bitter, structured, fairly alcoholic cocktail with a slightly fruity side. It's a bit like a Negroni that's decided to have a little therapy session with cherries…

Classic recipe

Pour 0.5 cl of cherry liqueur and 2 cl each of gin, triple sec, and Campari into an old-fashioned glass. Stir with a mixing spoon.

Background

The “Duke” is not a universal standard like the Mojito, but in general, when we talk about a “Duc” type cocktail, we are generally talking about a cocktail based on fairly strong spirits, sometimes with bitter or herbaceous notes.
