sleepy hello

3/4 oz Famous Grouse Scotch
3/4 oz Plymouth Sloe Gin
3/4 oz St. Germain (St. Elder)
3/4 oz Lemon Juice

Shake with ice, strain into a coupe, and garnish with a lemon twist.Two Wednesdays ago, I returned to that online recipe flashcard set that I had uncovered and came across the curiously named Sleepy Hello with the Scotch and sloe gin combination that worked well in the classic Modern Cocktail #2 and newer Post-Modern. I was able to track down the recipe to an older Clover Club menu where it was in their "Bracers & Pick Ups" section along side the Clover Club drink for $10 (the Clover Club drink in comparison is now $16 there). Once prepared, the Sleepy Hello met the nose with a lemon, plum, and floral bouquet. Next, lemon and dark fruit on the sip flowed into Scotch, cranberry, and pink grapefruit flavors on the swallow.
