268. Pat (Pat's) Cocktail

My interpretation:
 1 oz Aria American Dry Gin
 0.75 oz Casa Mariol Vermut
 1 dash Pierre Ferrand Dry Curaçao
 1 dash Angostura bitters

Stir with cracked ice, strain into bar glass, stein, or cocktail glass, garnish with lemon twist, serve. — This Martinez-like recipe, a JM 1908 original apparently designed for a customer and variously called Pat’s or Pat Cocktail (perhaps related to the Savoy recipe by the same name), is a little scant on details, but on closer inspection probably describes a lowball drink, best served in a whisky glass or small stein (6-8 oz glass with handle). In 1933, the recipe has been altered or accidentally distorted, since the 40% percent is in all previous cases Dry Vermouth, and the 10% Sweet Vermouth is omitted, so that the 40% is given to Sweet Vermouth. The specification of bar glass or stein has also been omitted:
