295. Raymond Hitch-Cocktail

My interpretation:
  2 oz Vermut Lustau
  1 T fresh orange juice
  1 slice pineapple + 1 piece (for garnish)

Shake with pineapple slice 20 seconds, strain into cocktail glass, garnish with fresh pineapple piece, serve. — This light vermouth-based cocktail with a humorous name (a play on the name Raymond Hitchcock) is found in Savoy (1930), from which it appears to be taken into JM 1933.

294. Raymond Cocktail


My interpretation:
  1 oz Castle & Key Dry Gin
  .75 oz Noilly Prat Rouge
  .75 oz Noilly Prat Extra Dry
  2 dashes Chartreuse
  lemon twist

Fill mixing-glass with ice, stir, strain into champagne coupe or flute, garnish with lemon, serve. — This Perfect Martini riff with an herbal undertone first appears in JM 1910 and continues unchanged. It does not appear to have any counterparts in other manuals. The Raymond Hitch Cocktail in the Savoy (1930) does not seem to be related.
