FREE LOVE COCKTAIL—Club Style
This vintage 1917 cocktail offers a rich and creamy texture reminiscent of a classic flip, blending the botanical sweetness of Old Tom Gin with the distinct licorice notes of Anisette. The addition of fresh cream and egg white creates a luxurious, velvety mouthfeel that balances the herbal complexity of the spirits. Served in a chilled cocktail glass, it makes for an elegant and indulgent after-dinner drink.
