50. Booby Cocktail


My interpretation:
  1.25 oz St. George Botanivore
  1.5 oz fresh lime juice
  0.25 oz Jack Rudy grenadine.

Shake well (20 seconds) with fine ice (use mallet and bag), strain, and serve. — Properly a Booby Sour (cf. Grenadine Gin Sour, p. 216), this drink first appears in Straub and is thence taken up into JM 1916 with the single addition “and serve.” The dilution from a long shake on fine ice should bring this drink up to capacity and sufficiently soften the lime’s acidity. One question is whether or not to strain the drink, since no instruction is given.  This is a shim or lighter drink in any case.
