Psychopathia Sexualis

Main Spirit Gin
Difficulty Easy

It is based on the controversial German 1886 book of the same name that deals with the psychology of deviant sexual behaviour. With Gin, Sherry, Dry Vermouth, Sweet Vermouth & Orange Bitters, this is a drink that doesn’t require any masochism but hey, if sadism is your bent and you want to bring some into the preparation, then you do you …

More About This Drink

The recipe for this drink as it appeared in Grosby Gaige’s Cocktail Guide And Ladies’ Companion (1941) sadly does not stipulate the type of Sherry to be used. While Simon Difford  chose the slightly rich Palo Cortado Sherry, we could not get hold of it, so went for the more accessible Oloroso.
