A Dog's Nose

1 Conversation

Whilst we are on about Guinness cocktails how about a Dog's nose? Mentioned in Dickens' Pickwick Papers it is usually a simple matter of a gin topped up with a bottle of traditional Guinness (originally Stout or Porter). Cedric Dickens (Charles' grandson), in his book Drinking with Dickens, heats the Guinness before adding gin, sugar and nutmeg.



Kingsley Amis had a variation of the drink for the long summer days; in a pint silver tankard add a double gin (London dry for preference) then a bottle of traditional Guinness, and top up with ice cold ginger beer.
