20. Ballantine Cocktail
My interpretation
1 dash Grande Absente absinthe
1 oz Martini & Rossi Extra Dry Vermouth
0.25 oz Yzaguirre Blanco
1.75 oz Hawthorn’s London Dry Gin
Shake over ice, strain, and serve. I mix my vermouths here the better to bridge the gin and absinthe. I think Dolin Dry would be good. Cynical remark: Martini with absinthe. Cynical remark no. 2: no Ballantine’s Scotch is involved in the creation of this drink. Interestingly, in the 1916 Edition, Jack specifies Gordon Dry gin.
