Improved Holland Cocktail

A 
2 bar spoon maraschino or curacao
1 bar spoon rich syrup
2-3 dashes Ango
2 1/2 oz Genever
Stir, strain in coupe. Lemon peel garnish.

Dates to the 1800s. It follows the original definition of a cocktail - a blend of spirit, sugar, water, bitters. Basically, a gin Old Fashioned. Add the modifier (curaçao or maraschino) and it is now “improved”. The use of Genever gives the cocktail its current name. The recipe appears in Jerry Thomas’ Bar-Tender’s Guide in 1876.

Crusta

A

1 oz cognac
1 oz cointreau
1 oz lemon juice
Stir, strain in sugar rim coupe. Large lemon peel garnish.
Rich, fussy, and obscure. One of New Orlean’s first calling card cocktails, predating the Sazerac. It is basically a sour type drink served in a fancy way, as David Embury put it. It first appears in print as the Brandy Crusta in Jerry Thomas’ 1862 Bartender’s Guide.
Originally mixed in the 1850s by italian bartender Joseph Santini. This cocktail is significant because it was one of the first to introduce the idea of complex presentation and garnish and also one of the first to incorporate a good amount of citrus. Brandy is the flag bearer for this drink but it was originally interchangable - whiskey, gin, brandy, etc. The garnish makes this drink notable - it calls for a long strip of lemon along the inside rim of a flute, just peeking over the edge, and a sugar rim (the first cocktail to call for that). The recipe was also unorthodox for the time - it called for a squeeze of lemon which was very unusual for this point in time. It also called for fine cognac. This was an epicure’s drink.
