—original documentation in the Savoy Cocktail book in 1930
—original recipe calls for Kina Lillet, a version of vermouth that incorporates quinine. Since this is no longer available, Cocchi Americano is listed in its place. Lillet Blanc, or any other dry vermouth can be used in its place. This was a popular brunch cocktail.

Aviation

A 
1.5 oz. London Dry Gin
1/2 oz. Maraschino Liqueur
3/4 oz. Lemon Juice
1 Barspoon Crème de Violette
Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker. Add ice and shake to chill. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.	Cocktail Glass, Cherry (Maraschino, Amarena, Brandied Cherry) or Lemon Peel

** The name (Aviation) indicates the desired color of the cocktail—a light blue that should be reminiscent of the sky. Crème de violette can be pretty intense so use it judiciously. For a softer and fruitier edge, use crème Yvette. A drier variation, the Casino, swaps a few dashes of orange bitters for the violet liqueur.

Cocktail Glass, Orange Twist

** Like many classics, this drink—named for a `20s silent film starring Rudolph Valentino—has seen quite a renaissance in recent years. Try using a blend that has a more pronounced smoky punch. Or if you’re feeling even bolder, try a headier version with a robust, yet balanced single malt like Talisker.

** most credit Fernand Petiot with combining vodka and canned tomato juice while working at Harry’s New York Bar in Paris (1920s-ish). Petiot moved to the St Regis Hotel in New York, and the drink received a makeover—the original fifty-fifty combo was rather bland. When using tomato juice (or beef broth, as in the following recipe), avoid vigorous shaking as it results in an undesirable texture.

1 oz Sweet Vermouth
Stir all ingredients with ice and strain.
Cocktail Glass, Lemon Twist

** Scotland’s famous son and bard is generally credited as the inspiration of this Rob Roy derivative. I take a bit of umbrage with the name, however: as Mark Kingwell points out in his book Classic Cocktails: A Modern Shake, Robert Burns did not contract his name to Bobby, but rather Rabbie. But the drink appeared in the seminal Savoy Cocktail Book as “Bobby Burns,” and therefore shall forever be known by that name.

Champagne Cocktail

A

Champagne/Sparkling Wine
Angostura Bitters
Sugar Cube
**Champagne Flute, Lemon Peel (discarded)
Preparation: Great tip for fully saturating the sugar without leaving a mess of bitter in the bottom of your glass—which will muddy up your drink. Simply place a cocktail napkin on top of you the flute and adorn with the sugar cube. Liberally apply the bitters to said cube, then fold the napkin in half and deposit the sugar in the flute. Top with fizzy stuff (champagne is not a requisite, just used something bone-dry). Pour carefully of you’ll end up with a mess on your hands. Finish by expressing the oils from a lemon peel over the surface of the drink and then toss the peel in the bin, not the drink.h

**Cheryl Cook’s name is often bandied about when discussing the Cosmo’s origin. Working in South Beach in the mid-1980s, Cook based her original drink on the then-new Absolut Citron vodka, triple sec, Rose’s lime cordial and “just enough cranberry to make it oh so pretty in pink.”

Some variations on the collins include: silver fizz (use of an egg white), golden fizz (use of an egg yolk), royal fizz (use of the whole egg), and the diamond fizz (substitute sparkling wine for soda water).

***Although orange liqueur/triple sec is commonly used to sweeten the Margarita, international tequila ambassador Julio Bermejo has popularized the “Tommy’s Margarita,” which uses agave nectar in place of the orange liqueur. Agave nectar is pretty thick stuff, so i’d advise thinning it out with an equal amount of water.

A

1/4 ounce Lillet Blanc (originally Kina Lillet)
Shake all ingredients with ice and strain into chilled glass.
Cocktail Glass, Lemon Peel
**fun question to write out:
Sother Teague on why it shouldn’t be ordered:
one can’t truly be made as one of the ingredients no longer exists (Since Kina Lillet was discontinued in 1986 not to mention that the proof of Gordon’s Gin was cut in 1992) and not just because it’s the drink of a fictional character dreamt up by a man seated in front of a typewriter (not a bartender). But more because it simply makes no sense. In the most lay terms, gin is sort of flavored vodka. So, why would you effectively water down your gin by adding vodka to the mix?

Clover Club

A

1.5 oz Gin
3/4 oz Lemon Juice
3/4 Raspberry Syrup
1 Egg White

**Prep: Shake and strain into coupe; double shaking or a dry shake may be used to create a better texture.

**The Clover Club is named for the Philadelphia gentlemen’s club of the same name that met at the Bellevue-Strafford Hotel.

**a Dry shake, or a double shake is to first shake the ingredients without ice to incorporate more air into the egg white. This drink benefits from extended shaking, but to avoid dilution a double shake without ice for the first round is preferred. One can also place the spring from their Hawthorne strainer into the tin to further emulsify the egg white.
