69. Café de Paris Cocktail
My interpretation:
1 Vital Farms egg-white
3 dashes Hiram Walker Anisette
1 barspoon heavy cream
2 oz Bombay Sapphire
Shake well (20 seconds) with fine ice, strain into glass with approx. 3 oz capacity. — This classic also comes to the JM tradition from Straub in which it is spelled Cafe de Paree. Here, of course, the Cafe refers not to coffee per se, nor of course to the ’30s London night club, as some have suggested, but to the venerable 19th-century coffee-house in central Paris—either to indicate its supposed origin, or else to make a nostalgic association without basis: “Fit for the fashionable madames at the gay old café de Paree!”
