Sheltering Sky
0
A stirred cognac drink where dry sherry, Swedish punsch and Bénédictine add dryness, sweetness and herbal depth, finished with Angostura and orange peel. Created by Frederic Yarm at Russell House Tavern in Cambridge, MA, in 2014.
Frederic Yarm created Sheltering Sky at Russell House Tavern in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 2014 for a Cognac-sponsored ShakeStir competition. It is a variation on the Rocket from "Pioneers of Mixing in Elite Bars: 1903–1933", with sherry in place of sweet vermouth and Benedictine and Angostura bitters in place of Picon. The name comes from Paul Bowles' novel The Sheltering Sky, since the drink seemed to capture travel around the world in one glass.
