globus zurich cocktail

60% Dry Gin (1 3/4 oz Ford's)
30% Sweet Vermouth (1 oz Giacomo Sperone)
10% Zara Maraschino (1/4 oz Luxardo)
3 dash Campari (1/2 tsp)
2 dash Angostura Bitters

Stir with ice, strain into a coupe glass, and garnish with a cherry.
Two Mondays ago, I reached for my copy of the 1000 Misture book from 1936 and spotted the Globus Zurich Cocktail. The recipe looked like a Martinez but the dashes of Campari embittered it in the direction of a Hanky Panky (obviously not in the Fernet way). In the glass, the Globus Zurich gave forth a bitter cherry and grape aroma. Next, grape and cherry notes continued on into the sip where they were followed by gin and bitter cherry flavors on the swallow.
