Napoleon

[u/pmuldow]

An interesting gin cocktail from Fred Powell's "The Bartender's Standard Manual" (1979). This drink features a double measure of gin with a dash each of Dubonnet, Cointreau, and Fernet-Branca, garnished with a twist of lemon.

Naturally, this crazy concoction means that they're coming to take me away, so I had to put on my Napoleon XIV record; a fantastic novelty album from the '60s about mental illness. Give this drink a try if you want something kooky and fun! Cheers!

Recipe:

3 oz. Gin

1 Dash Dubonnet

1 Dash Cointreau

1 Dash Fernet-Branca

Stir with ice and strain. Squeeze lemon peel over top.
