Able Seaman is extremely pleasant quite strong cocktail at 1.6 standard drinks. Built with 45ml brandy and 15ml sparkling wine rose with 40ml soda water as well as 190ml ice and best with morning tea snacks. Just fill glass with ice then add one and a half shots of brandy to glass and pour in a little sparkling white wine. Top with soda water and served in a highball glass cold.
