The drink
Artist’s Special \ Taste, colour, texture, the Artist’s Special has it all. Perhaps unsurprisingly, given its name. Created in the equally delightfully sounding Artists’ Club in Paris, circa 1927, it’s a drink with real depth in flavour, hue and history. If you like whisky sours, you’ll love it. 30ml blended scotch 30ml oloroso sherry 15ml fresh lemon juice 15ml redcurrant, grenadine or raspberry syrup Lemon twist, to garnish Method: Shake all ingredients hard over ice. Double strain into a chilled Coupe or wine glass. Garnish with a lemon twist. Recipe and image courtesy of Cara Devine.
