The martini — so simple, right? Remember, the possibilities are
nearly endless with this classic. Tweak it and adjust it. You'll find a
combination that suits you.

1 ½ ounce (45 ml) Dolin blanc vermouth

July 08, 2019Shrub!
A "superior efficacy against putrefaction" as well as a delicious
byproduct of my pickled strawberries, shrub is a mix of fruit and vinegar
along with sugar. Add it to your favorite spirit (or seltzer) for a zippy,
tart, and refreshing drink.
1 ½ ounces blanco tequila
¾ ounce strawberry shrub
¾ ounce fresh lime juice
Combine all ingredients in a shaker with ice and shake vigorously. Pour
into glass, with or without ice, garnish with a lime wheel. Rim the glass
with salt, if you like.

June 16, 2019Eeyore's Requiem
Deliciously bitter and orangey with a hint of mint. This sipper originated
at The Violet Hour in Chicago at the hands of Toby Maloney, owner of that
bar and many others.
1 ½ ounce Campari
½ ounce London dry gin (Tanqueray)
¼ ounce Cynar
¼ ounce Fernet Branca
1 ounce Dolin Blanc Vermouth
15 drops orange bitters
3 strips orange peel
In a mixing glass with ice, add all ingredients except the orange
peels. Stir until chilled and strain into a coupe. Twist all the orange
peels over the drink to express the oils. Discard the peels.

May 16, 2019Clover Club
Created at Philadelphia's Clover Club, that society's eponymous cocktail is
a refreshing, silky classic. Please check out the links to the various
documents about the Clover Club itself — at least for the awe
inspiring display of facial hair.
1 ½ ounces gin
½ ounce dry vermouth
½ ounce fresh lemon juice
½ ounce raspberry syrup
¼ ounce egg white
Do not put ice in the shaker yet.
Pour all the ingredients into the shaker. Dry shake for 10 seconds. Add ice
to the shaker and shake for at least another 10 seconds. Serve in a coupe,
garnished with a fresh raspberry.
See this Imbibe article for the
easy raspberry syrup recipe. I have seen recipes that suggest substituting
grenadine for the raspberry syrup. Making the syrup is really easy and and
it's delicious, so do give it a try.

May 08, 2019Seelbach
The Seelbach cocktail has an interesting and checkered history. While it
may not be exactly what it claims, it's a delicious addition to our
cocktail
1 oz. Bourbon whiskey
1/2 oz. Cointreau or other triple sec
7 dashes Angostura bitters
7 dashes Peychaud's bitters
5 oz. Brut Champagne or dry sparkling wine
Combine Bourbon, triple sec, and bitters in a mixing glass, add ice, and
stir. Pour into a champagne flute or large cocktail glass. Top with the
sparkling wine and give a light stir. Garnish with an orange twist.
NOTE: Well, I made a mistake. I say in the episode this is shaken. It should, in fact, be stirred. Sorry about the confusion.

April 30, 2017Ramos Gin Fizz
In 1888, Henry Ramos invented a New Orleans classic cocktail that was so
labor intensive he employed a relay of bartenders to shake it. What a sight
that must have been. The subtle citrus flavors and the creamy texture make
this one a really treat.
Note that this is served up in a Collins glass, so don't add ice to the
serving glass.
2 ounces London dry gin
1/2 ounce fresh lemon juice*
1/2 ounce fresh lime juice*
1/2 ounce simple syrup
1 ounce heavy cream
1 egg white**
3 drops of orange flower water
1 drop of vanilla extract
club soda
Everything except the club soda goes into the shaker without ice. Dry shake
for about a minute. Add ice and shake again for at least two minutes (feel
free to try to shake it for 12 minutes). Carefully pour into a tall glass
without ice. Pour enough club soda into the glass to fill it up. Drop in a
straw and serve.
*In the podcase, I said 1 ounce. It should be 1/2 ounce.
**If you are squeamish about using raw egg whites, you can substitute
pasteurized or powered. But I wouldn't recommend it.

April 22, 2017 Old Fashioned Redux
My first old fashioned whiskey cocktail was Midwest style — being mostly
7-Up and muddled fruit with Canadian Club. It seemed pretty good to me at
the time. But my taste in cocktails has changed, and I'm always looking for
the best old fashioned I can find.
This episode is just me making an old fashioned cocktail with Rittenhouse
rye in a way I've come to really enjoy. It's probably not classic in that
I'm recommending brown sugar, but the payoff is so good. I've also made
this with a golden rum or, when I'm really feeling like flying in the face
of tradition, Plantation Pineapple Rum.
It's all about taking your time and getting the dilution right. Give it a
try.

February 26, 2017Queen's Park Hotel Super Cocktail
I highly recommend Beachbum Berry's book on Carribean drinks. It's not just
a recipe book, it's a narrative of the history of tropical drinks in the
region. His writeup on the Queen's Park Hotel will definitely not convince
you spend a night there, but this cocktail would be one good reason to do
so.
Try it with both gold and white rums.
1 1/2 ounce rum, gold or white
1/2 ounce Italian vermouth
1/2 ounce fresh lime juice
1/2 ounce grenadine
4 dashes Angostura bitters
Place all the components in a shaker with ice, shake vigorously. Strain
into a coupe, and garnish with a lime wheel.

February 06, 2017Bobby Burns
Named in honor of the national poet of Scotland, the Bobby Burns packs a
delicious smokiness you don't often find in a classic cocktail. Try to use
a good single malt Scotch whisky in this one. And don't forget to share a
cup o' kindness yet for Auld Lang Syne.
2 ounces single malt Scotch whisky
3/4 ounce sweet vermouth
1 barspoon Benedictine
Place all of the ingredients in a mixing glass with ice and stir until
well-chilled. Strain into a cocktail glass and garnish with a lemon twist.

January 29, 2017Bronx
The third borough cocktail made on Cocktailing, this one is kind of tame.
Unlike so many cocktails, the origin of the Bronx is known, and you can
read about it in the stories linked below.
Most of the recipes I found for this one use London dry gin. I tried it,
but I really found Old Tom to be a better fit for my taste buds. So, try it
both ways.
2 ounces gin
1 ounce orange juice
1/2 ounce dry vermouth
1/2 ounce sweet vermouth
Place all of the ingredients in a shaker with ice. Shake vigorously. Strain
into a cocktail glass. Garnish with an orange wheel.
