45. Blanche Cocktail


My interpretation:
  1.25 oz Cointreau
  1.25 oz Pierre Ferrand Dry Curaçao
  0.5 oz Romana Sambuca

Shake well (20 seconds), strain into glass. — A dessert duo or trio which should be called simply a Blanche, this is a fine drink, if a little sweet. It is also a post-Prohibition newcomer to the Jack’s Manual, not appearing in earlier editions. Other sources suggest that the drink may originally have called for absinthe blanche, or white absinthe, rather than anisette. Also, it may have originally called for clear curaçao and hence had a white rather than pale orange appearance.
