379. Wonder Cocktail

 My interpretation:
  1.25 oz Bombay Sapphire
  0.75 oz Cocchi Vermouth di Torino
  1 quarter slice pineapple

Fill mixing-glass with broken ice, shake vigorously (frappé), strain into cocktail glass, garnish with fresh pineapple slice — Yet another martini+pineapple combination, it appears first in Straub 1913 in a 2:1 ratio, then in JM1916 with the present 3:2, as usual.

376. White Lion Cocktail

My interpretation:
  1 oz Bacardí Blanc
  1 oz lemon juice
  3 dashes Angostura bitters
  3 dashes Jack Rudy grenadine (in lieu of raspberry syrup)
  
 Fill mixing-glass with ice, shake well, strain into cocktail glass, serve. — This “red” version of the venerable pink-hued “Daiquiri Rose” (recently, paler-hued variants have appeared), appears in Harry Johnson’ manual, where it has powdered sugar, both raspberry and curaçao, and gives the option of lemon or lime juice. In early editions, the drink is built as a Fix, in a glass full of fine ice and garnished with seasonal fruit and a straw; later it morphs into a strained Sour; both have only 2-3 dashes of citrus. Johnson’s strained recipe is also echoed in the earlier Grohusko manuals JM1908, 1910, and 1912, which all call for pulverized sugar, half lime or lemon, curaçao, raspberry, and straining into a stemmed glass. Probably following Straub 1913/1914, JM1916 introduces the newer simplified recipe presented here, dropping the lime option and the curaçao and approaching more nearly the sort of Rum Rose we know today.

356. U. C. Cocktail

My interpretation:
  1 oz Castle & Key London Dry Gin
  1 oz Martini & Rossi Extra Dry Vermouth
  1 dash St. George absinthe verte

Fill shaker with ice, shake about 30 strokes, strain into cocktail glass, serve. — This shaken Martini+absinthe recipe first appears in Straub 1913 without a hint as to the source of the name.
 

333. South Africa Cocktail

My interpretation:
  1 oz Lustau Amontillado
   1 oz Beefeater Gin
  3 drops lime juice (1 barspoon)
  1 dash Angostura bitters

Shake, strain into cocktail glass, serve. — This balanced Martini-riff with lime juice as well as sherry in place of vermouth, is first found in JM 1916, borrowed from Straub 1913.

331. Soda Cocktail

My interpretation:
  1 tsp sugar
  3 dashes Angostura Bitters
  5 oz San Pellegrino Limonata

Line glass with water, pour out, then add sugar and angostura, fill with ice, top up with limonata, garnish with 2 orange slices, stir, serve. —The Soda Cocktail was retained unchanged from 1908. Straub has a similar cocktail with powdered sugar and lemon peel, and only mentions lemon soda.
