65. Butcher Cocktail
My interpretation:
1.5 oz The Famous Grouse Blended Scotch
0.75 oz Bombay Sapphire
0.75 oz Martini & Rossi Rosso
Fill mixing-glass with broken ice (i.e., about 10-12 oz broken ice), stir, strain, and serve.
— This bracing Jack’s Manual stand-by first appears on the 1910 edition and continues unchanged. Was it named for a local butcher who liked a fix after a long day at the chopping-block, or for its impenitent butchering of esteemed mixological traditions? The unexpected harmony between Gin and Scotch has since been rediscovered in the “Smoky Martini.”
