123. Duplex Cocktail

My interpretation:
  1 oz Old Forester Signature
  0.5 oz Martini & Rossi Extra Dry
  0.5 oz Cocchi Vermouth di Torino

Stir in mixing-glass with ice, strain into cocktail glass, and serve. — A perfect Manhattan, hold the bitters, first appearing in JM 1916. A Straub 1913 recipe (identified as an alternate of the “Albern”) is, somewhat more logically, equal parts dry and sweet vermouth with two dashes of orange bitters. The Old Waldorf-Astoria Bar Book uses the same recipe, specifying as alternative to orange bitters two squeezes of orange peel.
