Cocktail of the Week
The William
19 April 2011
William's cocktail is derived from the classic cocktail detailed in William Boothby's 1891 manual. A classic blend of golden rum with vermouth makes this a Manhattan style drink, but it can also be enjoyed on the rocks too. This is a robust drink, masculine and classy with a modern twist.

45ml Mount Gay Eclipse Gold Rum
20ml Dolin Rouge Vermouth
20ml Pol Roger Brut Reserve NV Champagne
2 dashes of Fee Brothers Aromatic Bitters
Method:
Stir the Mount Gay Eclipse Rum, Dolin Vermouth and bitters well with ice, strain and serve in a Martini glass, topping up with Pol Roger Brut Reserve NV Champagne.
Garnish:
Garnish with a fresh Maraschino Cherry.
