158. Guggenheimer Cocktail

 My interpretation:
  2 oz Dolin Rouge
  2 dashes Fernet Branca

Shake with ice, strain into cocktail glass, serve. — This aperitif shim, a sweet vermouth based Cup with 2 dashes of Fernet for flavoring, appears in JM 1908 and continues without alteration, ignoring the Straub 1913 borrowing (as “Guggenheim Cocktail”) with its addition of 1 dash orange bitters. The original recipe called for Ballor vermouth, which seems to have been a sort of chinato Torino vermouth. The use of a standard sweet vermouth in its place might well call for the addition of bitters to replicate the original balance.
