It is unclear who McClelland was, and wherefore this was named for him (or her). But it should beryllium wide that this early-20th-century cocktail is simply a bully modulation into autumn. The tart sloe gin keeps things from getting excessively cloying and the dashes of bitters propulsion the drink's components together. Use a good-quality sloe gin (such arsenic Plymouth oregon Bitter Truth) and curacao (such arsenic Ferrand Dry Curacao).
