The Blackthorn, Classic Cocktail

Here comes a classically designed cocktail that dates itself far back, probably before many of the key ingredients and spirit recipes where as good as they are today. Some of the balance was probably hard to achieve and, today, the recipe stands on its own, even if it's not that exciting.

While there is nothing wrong with the recipe, it is a bit lacking on intensity or overall memorability, but it's a well designed recipe worth trying.
