McClelland Cocktail

Today was the time for a 'McClelland Cocktail' (on  page 121 of the Bartender's Guide).

The recipe:

3/4 oz Triple Sec (LeRoux)
1 1/2 oz Sloe Gin (LeRoux)
1 dash Orange Bitters

Shake with ice and strain into cocktail glass.

The drink was a little too sweet for our taste in cocktails; probably needed a bit of lemon juice and maybe a gin substitute for some of the sloe gin. It had a pretty good taste but is not one I would repeat.

At least the weather was better today.

Cheers!
