56. Bronx Cocktail


My interpretation:
  1.5 oz St. George Botanivore
  0.75 oz Gallo Extra Dry
  0.75 oz Martini & Rossi Rosso
Jack’s Manual (1908)
  2 T fresh orange juice

Fill mixing-glass with ice, shake, and strain. — A classic cocktail for the 1899 inauguration of the Bronx Zoo, this drink went through a little mutation during the Sad Era. In the 1908 and 1916 (it is mysteriously absent from 1910), we have no juice but a twist of orange or, in Straub a “piece of orange.” 

Only in 1933 does Jack’s Manual get the juicy version so famous today (pictured below).
