66. B. V. D. Cocktail
My interpretation:
0.33 oz Bacardí 8 (1/3 pony)
1.66 oz Bombay Sapphire
1 oz Gallo Extra Dry
Shake well (20 seconds) with ice, strain into cocktail glass. — This classic cocktail, not appearing in previous editions of JM, was added to the Post-Prohibition 1933 edition from an unknown source, perhaps with intentional adjustment of the proportions. It calls for a gin-heavy drink light on the rum, where other recipes often call for equal parts. A cynic might call it a “Dry Martini with a dash of rum.”
