My interpretation:
1.5 oz St. George Americano Bruto
1.5 Bulleit Rye
Fill mixing-glass with cracked ice, stir, strain into cocktail glass, and serve. — This JM 1933 original is a nice stiff aperitif Duo, kind of a simpler, less sweet Boulevardier. I can’t yet comment on the Brandy version, nor how it might work with Campari or even Cynar. For the time being, however, I do like the faint floral quality of the St. George Americano Bruto mingling with the peppery Bulleit rye. Needless to say, there are lots of options here with lots of nuances possible, so the experiment might take several repetitions. And yet with the eight combinations possible, there are even more possibilities for determining the significance of the recipe’s mysterious name. What could C. H. P. signify to a post-Prohibition Manhattanite?
