77. Chantecler Cocktail


My interpretation:
  1.5 oz Bombay Sapphire
  0.75 oz Dolin Extra Dry
  0.75 oz Martini & Rossi Rosso
  4 dashes Jack Rudy Grenadine

Shake with ice, finely strain, serve. — This abbreviated recipe, named after Edmond Rostand’s play which premiered in 1910–1911 (correctly in the French spelling, not Americanized “Chanticleer”), appears first in Straub 1913/1914, from whence it is copied almost word for word. It is a subtle variation on the Bronx notable for its distinction in color more than in taste, unless a fine grenadine is used.
