#23. Humpty Dumpty Cocktail

Considering how often Ensslin sneaks eggs into these recipes, I find it kind of absurd that there's not any egg in a Humpty Dumpty. I mean, it's practically asking for it.

I'm glad it's egg-free, though, because after this one, we tried some egg concoctions? Eggy.

This drink is instead 1:2 maraschino liqueur to dry vermouth. And it's pretty good! Maraschino must be crazy sweet on its own, because cut with the dry vermouth, it's still lightly fruity. And reasonably nice. I might even make it again, on purpose.

But, Ensslin sometimes seems to stumble with certain details. It seems criminal to not put a cherry in this, but his recipe does not call for one. It's got great color, too, so I really think a martini glass would be the right way to serve this. But what do I know?
