155. Graham Cocktail


My interpretation:
  1.5 oz Casa Mariol Vermut Negro
  0.5 oz Fernet Branca

Shake with ice, strain into cocktail glass, and serve. — In its original debut in JM 1908, the aperitif cocktail suitable to the palate of a New York Italian restaurant like Baracca’s called for stirring. This technique was changed to shaking in the 2nd and 3rd editions in 1910, which while not necessary, produces a slightly colder drink with a nice thin layer of foam on the surface. While the Fernet Branca produced in North America may have a more pronounced menthol quality, and even differ in other respects, from the formula presumed to have exited in 1908, it does not seem necessary to introduce Fernet Vallet into this recipe.
