97. Cold Deck Cocktail


My interpretation:
  1.0 oz Asbach Uralt
  0.5 oz Hiram Walker Crème de Menthe
  0.5 oz Dolin Rouge 

Fill mixing-glass with broken ice, shake well (20 seconds), strain into cocktail glass, serve. — This trio, named after a card-playing term and previously appearing the Savoy Cocktail Book (1930), is a variation on the Stinger / Brant theme, adding a little depth with the vermouth while maintaining the sweetness.

53. Brant Cocktail


My interpretation:
  2.25 oz Courvoisier VSOP
  0.75 oz Hiram Walker Creme de Menthe
  1 dash Angostura bitters

Shake with ice, strain, garnish with twisted lemon peel. — This classic cocktail recipe with a portmanteau name (from Brandy + Mint), otherwise known as a Stinger, is taken up by Jack in his 1916 edition, presumably from Straub 1914.
