London Calling cocktail recipe

The London Calling was resurrected by Chris Jepson at Milk & Honey in London around 2002. The original cocktail called for different ratios along with aromatic bitters (instead of orange) and went by the name, Barbara West Cocktail. It existed since the 1930s but never gained mainstream popularity, that was, until Jepson revived the cocktail by making a few tweaks. $10 OFF THREEFOLD LONDON DRY (auto applied at checkout): https://bit.ly/TFD-london-dry-gin STEVE THE BARTENDER'S COCKTAIL GUIDE: https://bit.ly/STB-cocktail-guide PATRICIAN’S BITTERS: https://bit.ly/patricians-bitters ***** 📚 BUY MY BOOK: https://bit.ly/STB-cocktail-guide 📱 ANDROID APP: http://bit.ly/get-cocktails-app 🍏 iOS APP: http://bit.ly/essential-cocktails-app 🍾 10 ESSENTIAL BOTTLES: https://bit.ly/stevethebartenderbottles ***** INGREDIENTS - 1.5 oz / 45 ml London dry gin (https://bit.ly/TFD-london-dry-gin) - 0.5 oz / 15 ml fino sherry - 0.5 oz / 15 ml lemon juice - 0.5 oz / 15 ml simple syrup - 2 dashes of orange bitters For a gin to be called “London dry” it must be created to these specifications: - First, a neutral base spirit must be distilled to at least 96% ABV. - None of the botanicals added can be synthetic or artificial – they must all be natural. - All botanicals must be added during the distillation process. - Nothing but water and a very small amount of sweetener can be added post-distillation.
