Byrrh Special Cocktail: A Classic French Apéritif
The Byrrh Special cocktail is a classic French apéritif that has been enjoyed for over a century. This refreshing and sophisticated drink features Byrrh, a unique wine-based aperitif that was first created in 1866 by the Violet brothers in Thuir, France.
Byrrh is made from red wine, mistelle (a blend of grape juice and brandy), and quinine. The addition of quinine gives Byrrh its distinctive bitter flavor profile, which pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the other ingredients. The result is a complex and well-balanced beverage that can be enjoyed on its own or used as an ingredient in cocktails like the Byrrh Special.
To make a Byrrh Special cocktail, you will need:
- 2 oz Byrrh
- 1 oz gin

- Orange twist for garnish
Instructions:
1. Fill a mixing glass with ice.
2. Add the Byrrh, gin, and Cointreau to the mixing glass.
3. Stir well until chilled.

5. Garnish with an orange twist.
The resulting cocktail is smooth and aromatic, with hints of citrus from the Cointreau complementing the herbal notes of the Byrhh. It's perfect for sipping before dinner to stimulate your appetite or as a light and refreshing drink on warm summer evenings.
