89. Claridge Cocktail
My interpretation:
.75 oz Castle & Key London Dry Gin
.75 oz Noilly Prat Extra Dry
.75 oz Hiram Walker Apricot
.75 oz Cointreau
Shake well (20 seconds) with ice, strain into cocktail glass, serve. — A new, fairly well balanced liqueur-rich dessert drink for the 1933 edition. It also appears in Craddock’s 1930 Savoy Cocktail Book.

63. Bud's Cocktail
My interpretation:
1.5 oz Bombay Sapphire
0.75 oz Gallo Extra Dry
0.75 oz Yzaguirre Rojo
1 dash Regan’s Orange Bitters
1 dash Hiram Walker Apricot Brandy
Fill mixing-glass with cracked ice, shake, strain, serve. Garnish with twisted orange peel. — This Cocktail, a “perfect Martini with a couple extras,” first appears in the reorganized and expanded JM 1916.

13. Apple-Pie Cocktail
My interpretation:
1.5 oz Bacardí 8
1.5 oz Casa Mariol Vermut Negro
4 dashes (one barspoon) Hiram Walker Apricot Brandy
2 dashes Rose’s Grenadine
2 barspoons lime (not pictured)
Shake well (on broken ice), strain, serve. It doesn’t taste like apple-pie (you can find lots of recipes that do that these days), and I’m not sure if it was meant to, but the specific brand of apricot liqueur might have something to do with it. A nice Abrikos would improve it, as would a better (i.e., not a last-minute purchase) grenadine, like Liber & Co.—which I used up at a party making Applejack Specials—or Jack Rudy.
