353. Tussetto Cocktail

My interpretation:
  1.25 oz Castle & Key London Dry Gin
  0.75 oz El Maestro Sierra Oloroso Sherry
  2 dashes Regan’s Orange Bitters

Fill mixing-glass half full of broken ice, stir, strain into cocktail glass, serve. — This recipe, otherwise known as a Sherry Martini, is closely linked to the Tuxedo Club, also spelled Tucseto or Tucsedo after the Indian term for which the eponymous community club was named. Grohusko’s spelling here seems unique, and may be regarded as an Italianized interpretation of the spelling, though it first appears that way not in JM 1916 but in Straub 1913. The Savoy (1930) has two Tuxedos of the martini+absinthe vein, neither with sherry. It is the most simple and elegant of all the Tuxedo-related drinks. Further information for this and the next drink, the Tuxedo proper, is found here.
 

15. Armour Cocktail

My interpretation:
  1 dash Regan’s Orange Bitters
  1.5 oz Casa Mariol Vermut Negro
  1.5 oz El Maestro Sierra Oloroso Sherry

Stir over broken ice, strain, serve. Garnish with orange peel. It’s essentially the earlier Adonis Cocktail with slightly different proportions.

2. Adonis Cocktail

My interpretation:
  2 dashes Fee Brothers Orange Bitters
  1 oz El Maestro Sierra Oloroso sherry
  2 oz Casa Mariol Vermut negro (sweet vermouth)

Stir over ice and strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with lemon twist. Jack might have intended this to be stirred without ice and built in the glass, but as is often the case, the instructions are unclear, indeed, laconic to the extreme, and historical comparisons must be relied upon.
