The HeskeyCocktail recipe
Rating
The Heskey is a cocktail that features a unique combination of gin and port. With 30ml of gin and 60ml of port, this drink presents a bold contrast between the aromatic botanicals of gin and the rich, sweet profile of port.
It's served in a lowball glass, which allows for the flavors to combine robustly. This cocktail is likely to offer a strong, spirit-forward experience with the complexity of gin's juniper and herbal notes mingling with the deep, fruity flavors of port, making it a distinctive choice for those who appreciate a more intense and less conventional cocktail option.
