Dog’s Nose Cocktail Recipe
Fascinating name for a cocktail, isn’t it? Well, the taste the drink boasts is as peculiarly interesting as the cocktail’s name itself. Have you ever touched a dog’s nose? It is wet and black, is it not? Well that’s where the drink is thought to take its name from. This is one of those inconspicuous cocktails that not many have heard of, but once somebody has gotten their hands on the recipe, you would wonder why anyone would want to drink this bitter tasting medicine. But there’s a basis for which it was a favourite of Charles Dickens, one of the best writers and novelist the era has produced. The reason is that Dog’s Nose cocktail is great for a cold February night. So now you can enjoy the starry night sitting outside on the porch, puff on a cigar with one hand while holding a cocktail glass in the other, taking teasingly subtle sips of the Dog’s Nose cocktail, enriching your senses.
