Common Market

Common Market is an English cocktail that was originally created by the legendary bartender Joe Gilmore to commemorate Britain’s entry to the European Economic Community in 1973. He used the drinks from all member states, so the list of ingredients for this cocktail is a long one.

It is made with a combination of Elixir d'Anvers (Belgium), cherry brandy (Denmark), Noilly Prat (France), Schlichte (Germany), sloe gin (Britain), orange curaçao (Netherlands), dry white wine (Luxembourg), coffee liqueur (Ireland), and Carpano (Italy).

In order to prepare this decadent cocktail, equal parts of all ingredients should be shaken with ice, then strained into a cocktail glass.
