Rob Royal
0
A spirit-forward coupe built on Japanese whisky, with sloe gin's tart berry fruit, the bitter herbal bite of Fernet (Gagliardo) and a round banana sweetness from crème de banane. Bold, bittersweet and a little unexpected.
The Rob Royal grew out of repeated experiments with replacing vermouth in cocktails, first with apple juice and then with sloe gin. Sloe gin, particularly Plymouth, can echo the woody, fruity and slightly bitter character of sweet vermouth, including its wine-like astringency.
