Fraiser Bloodhound

The classic bloodhound cocktail but not one for the faint hearted!!!

Ingredients

  • Equal parts of:
  • Fraiser
  • Sweet Vermouth (I prefer Antica formula)
  • Dry Vermouth (I prefer Cocchi Americano for this drink)
  • Cubed ice
  • Block ice (this drink is best served over a big block of ice if you have access to it)
  • Strawberries

If you are using a standard sized old-fashioned glass (around 10oz) then 30ml of each ingredient is a good-sized ratio.

Equipment

  • Cocktail tin or mixing glass (this drink is stirred)
  • Hawthorn strainer
  • Bar spoon (or stirring implement)
  • Old fashioned glass (or whisky glass or similar)

Method

1. Add all ingredients to mixing glass or tin.

2. Add cubed ice and stir. Don’t over dilute – this drink is best chilled but not sub-zero. 30 – 40 times for this drink is a good rule of thumbs (so 30 – 40 stirs)

3. Strain into martini glass

4. Zest orange over the drink and around the glass.

5. Be Debonair.
