160. Hamersley Cocktail


My interpretation:
  1.5 oz Aviation American Gin
  0.5 oz Cocchi Vermouth di Torino 
  2 dashes Luxardo maraschino
 quarter orange (rind + 1/4 oz juice)

Squeeze orange-quarter into mixing-glass, drop in, add other ingredients, filled with crushed ice, and shake 30 seconds quickly, strain, and serve. — The quantity of juice and orange peels expressed from the inserted rind should not be so much as to render this cocktail a Blossom. It is rather to be considered a 3:1 martini (though shaken) with slight adjunct of maraschino and orange. The recipe is first found in JM 1910 (the 2nd Edition) and undergoes no change through the later editions.
