113. Delmonico Cocktail
My interpretation:
1.5 oz Hawthorn’s London Dry Gin
1.5 oz Noilly Prat or Martini & Rossi Dry Vermouth
Shake, strain, serve in cocktail glass, garnish with orange peel. — This recipe seems to come from Straub 1913. The standard cocktail by this name currently contains a portion of Cognac or Brandy in addition to Gin and Dry Vermouth. The Old Waldorf-Astoria Bar Book (1935) has two orange peels and adds a dash of Orange Bitters but no brandy. Here are two presentations of this recipe:
