46. Bobbie Burns Cocktail (for Two)
My interpretation:
1 tsp (barspoon) fresh orange juice
1 tsp (barspoon) Luxardo maraschino
1 tsp fine sugar
1.5 oz The Famous Grouse Blended Scotch
1.5 oz Yzaguirre Rojo Sweet Vermouth
Shake with ice, strain into two glasses. — This drink, which I hesitate to call a cocktail (perhaps a sort of blossom) comes from Straub’s pocket manual and is designated there also as “for two”—so I made two. Not sure that’s what was meant. Since Straub specifies 1/2 jiggers, Jack has 50%’s here. Still, two 1/2 jiggers will only get you one drink. Also note, the usual recipe for a Bobbie Burns today is a bit different.
