According to legend, King Uther Pendragon, with Merlin’s help, tricks the wife of his enemy, Lady Igraine, and sleeps with her. Thus Arthur, “the once and future king” is born. The red dragon is the symbol and flag of Wales and this red cocktail recalls this symbol, which is also the symbol of Uther, Chief dragon of the Celts. Sip on this while watching one of the many King Arthur movies!
