Copenhagen Cocktail

Copenhagen cocktail combines Dutch genever (jenever) and Cherry Heering, the legendary cherry liqueur from Copenhagen. It also includes lime juice, simple syrup, and a dash of Angostura bitters. The ingredients are poured into a shaker filled with ice.

They are shaken until chilled, and the mix is then strained into a chilled glass. The story behind the cocktail claims that it was invented at 1105, a bar owned by Gromit Eduardsen. It was a winning cocktail listed for a contest sponsored by Cherry Heering.

The competition was meant to celebrate Copenhagen and its history in distillation and spirits. This cocktail is traditionally served in a coupe glass and comes garnished with orange zest.
