Arnaud
🥃 Serve in: Nick and Nora Glass
A Jazz Age classic from Harry Craddock’s Savoy Cocktail Book (1930), named for the French-born actress Yvonne Arnaud, a star of the London stage. Equal parts gin, dry vermouth and crème de cassis are stirred into a deep ruby drink. The blackcurrant liqueur gives it rich, jammy fruit, the vermouth keeps it dry and herbal, and the gin’s botanicals hold it together. It’s an elegant, slightly old-fashioned cocktail for anyone who likes a Martini but wants something fruitier.
