131. Fairbanks Cocktail

My interpretation:
  1 oz Gin Lane 1751 Lond Dry
  0.5 oz Dolin Dry
  0.5 oz Rothman & Winter Apricot
  1 dash lemon juice
  1 dash Jack Rudy Grenadine

Shake well (30 seconds) with ice, strain into cocktail glass, garnish with cherry (here Amarena). — The first recipe to appear in Jack’s Manual under this name resembled the Evans with a larger portion of Apricot:

After 1916, Jack must have gotten wind that Douglas F. didn’t drink this one, or else he was corrected by the 1930 Savoy Book, whose Fairbanks No. 1 this recipe closely resembles; the Savoy’s gin-based Fairbanks No. 2 does not, however, resemble the old Rye and Apricot one. Straub has the Rye-Apricot-Boker’s recipe and further specifies using an Old Fashioned glass. Pictured here is the later 1933 recipe in the Savoy Cocktail-Book style.
