Sultan of Swing

"I was experimenting a little bit with pomegranate syrup and a dry vermouth yesterday and this cocktail was the outcome. After a few more cocktails I still didn't have a title for it. By that time I was listening to an old song from "Dire Straits" and use the song title for this cocktail. It sure has Swing and the intense red reminds a bit of the orient. It is a bit more toward the sweet side, but you can add some more lemon juice. The dash of salt emphasizes the different flavours."

directions

  • Keep the grenadine and the Noilly Prat in the fridge. So they are already cold enough.
  • Mix first four ingredients.
  • Fill a Martini glass with ice.
  • Pour the mixture over the ice and garnish with lemon wedges.
  • NOTE: I love Noilly Prat and would recommend to use it. If you can't get it, use a very dry vermouth. Use a high quality pomegranate syrup, because it makes this cocktail.

  1. This is really good! I was quite surprised. I was searching for a cocktail recipe but had very limited options. Then I found this. It is so nice, I had to rate it right away.
