Last Friday I was making cocktails for Christina and Tom. We went through several as my hangover will attest and this was one of them. I think it was the last cocktail of the night, which would explain why I made it differently than the instructions in the Savoy Cocktail Book.
In fairness to me, I was trying to half the recipe as I went.
I’ve since made it again for one person and although I think it’s slightly different from the cocktail as originally intended, I still really like it!
What
1oz gin
1 oz dry vermouth
1/2 teaspoon maraschino
3/4 teaspoon curaçao
dash of orange bitters
How
1) Put all ingredients in a mixing glass filled with ice
2) Stir and strain into a chilled cocktail glass
3) Garnish with a cherry and a piece of lemon rind
