77. Chantecler Cocktail

My interpretation:
  1.5 oz Bombay Sapphire
  0.75 oz Dolin Extra Dry
  0.75 oz Martini & Rossi Rosso
  4 dashes Jack Rudy Grenadine

Shake with ice, finely strain, serve. — This abbreviated recipe, named after Edmond Rostand’s play which premiered in 1910–1911 (correctly in the French spelling, not Americanized “Chanticleer”), appears first in Straub 1913/1914, from whence it is copied almost word for word. It is a subtle variation on the Bronx notable for its distinction in color more than in taste, unless a fine grenadine is used.

 

56. Bronx Cocktail

My interpretation:
  1.5 oz St. George Botanivore
  0.75 oz Gallo Extra Dry
  0.75 oz Martini & Rossi Rosso

Jack’s Manual (1908)

  2 T fresh orange juice

Fill mixing-glass with ice, shake, and strain. — A classic cocktail for the 1899 inauguration of the Bronx Zoo, this drink went through a little mutation during the Sad Era. In the 1908 and 1916 (it is mysteriously absent from 1910), we have no juice but a twist of orange or, in Straub a “piece of orange.” 

Only in 1933 does Jack’s Manual get the juicy version so famous today (pictured below).
