DERONDA COCKTAIL

DERONDA COCKTAIL

This sophisticated pre-Prohibition cocktail marries the smooth, earthy character of Plymouth Gin with the complex, bittersweet herbal notes of Calisaya liqueur. The unique combination creates a rich and aromatic flavor profile where quinine-infused cinchona bark complements the botanical juniper base. Served ice-cold in a cocktail glass, it offers a refined sipping experience for lovers of classic aperitifs.

  • 1 7/8 ounces Calisaya liqueur (Originally '1 1/4 jiggers Calisaya'. Converted to modern measurement (1 jigger = 1.5 fl oz). Calisaya is a cinchona bark-based herbal liqueur.)
  • 2 1/4 ounces Plymouth Gin (Originally '1 1/2 jiggers Plymouth Gin'. Converted to modern measurement (1 jigger = 1.5 fl oz).)
