Bamboo Cocktail ?

A
  • 1 1/2 ounces Fino Sherry
  • 1 1/2 ounces dry vermouth
  • 2 dashes Angostura bitters
  • 2 dashes orange bitters
  • Preparation: Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass and stir with ice briefly, to chill. Strain into glass.
  • Presentation: Cocktail coupe, garnished with orange and/or lemon twist
  • History: While the Bamboo was enjoyed in the US as early as 1901, it was created a decade earlier in Yokohama, Japan, at the Grand Hotel. Opened by a few American military officers, the Grand Hotel was an effort to bring a bit of home overseas. The creator of the Bamboo, Louis Eppinger, ran the Grand Hotel bar for over 15 years, until he passed. He had learned bartending under “The Professor” Jerry Thomas in San Francisco. The cocktail grew to such fame that pre-mixed versions were bottled and sold across the US.
  • Preparations & Variations: Many of today’s top bartenders like to add a hint of sugar syrup to add texture, an adjustment credited to Joaquín Simó of Pouring Ribbons in New York. It is important to not over-stir this cocktail; it should be made cold, but not diluted. Chilling both the mixing glass and the serving glass before icing down the ingredients is recommended.

Bellini Cocktail ?

A
  • 2 parts Prosecco

  • Presentation: Champagne flute
  • History: The Bellini was created by Giuseppe Cipriani at his original Cipriani’s in Venice, Italy, sometime before the beginning of WWII but after 1934, when the bar opened. The name is said to be derived from the fact that the color of the cocktail matched that of a saint’s toga in a 15th-century painting by Giovanni Bellini. Ernest Hemingway was known for drinking copious amounts of these, as was Orson Wells. The drink became available year-round at the Cipriani bars in Venice and New York when a smart French businessman started a company to ship fresh white peach purée to both locations.

  • Today, a John Collins is often served with bourbon or another American whiskey. The cocktail originally used genever, and when Old Tom Gin was introduced, the Tom Collins was born. It would be correct to only make a Tom Collins with Old Tom Gin, and to make a John Collins with any other type of gin or American whiskey. The best course of action, however, is to make what the guest wants.

French 75 Cocktail ?

  • Preparation: Shake gin, lemon juice, and simple syrup with ice and strain into ice-filled glass or chilled flute. Top with Champagne.
  • Presentation: Highball glass or flute, garnished with lemon twist
  • The original drink was identical to a Tom Collins except for the substitution of Champagne for soda water. Thus, many argue for the highball or collins glass as most traditional, and for serving the drink on the rocks. Nonetheless, it more often appears in a Champagne flute. Cognac can be substituted for the gin.

  • The fundamental difference between a fizz and a Collins is whether or not ice is used. Additionally, a Collins is built directly in the glass, while the fizz is shaken. Some variations on the Collins include the Silver Fizz (use of an egg white), the Golden Fizz (use of an egg yolk), the Royal Fizz (use of the whole egg), and the Diamond Fizz (substitute sparkling wine for soda water).
