History

Rich, tart berry-sloe gin mellows spiced rye whiskey with vanilla and liquorice notes. Try if you like Manhattans.

This drink is adapted from a recipe found in R. de Fleury's 1934 book, "1700 Cocktails for the Man Behind the Bar." The BLACK HAWK is prepared with equal parts Seagram's Canadian Rye Whisky and Sloe Gin, stirred well, and finished with a cherry.
