Chinatown Cocktail

Batts Hill Surrey Dry Gin Chinatown cocktail with maraschino cherry

A close cousin of the classic Chinatown cocktail, traditionally built on brandy and equal parts vermouth. This version leads with gin instead, with just a dash of brandy for depth. The colour is a beautiful warm amber, striking in a chilled flute.

Ingredients

Method
