170. Hillard Cocktail

My interpretation:
  1.25 oz Aviation American Gin
  0.75 oz Casa Mariol Vermut Negro
  2 dashes Angostura bitters

In absence (perhaps fortunately) of directions for preparation, I stir this with ice, strain into a cocktail glass, and serve. — Yet another in a long row of Straub recipes first borrowed for JM 1916, this slightly stiffer Martinez riff is altered, as typical, from its original 2:1 ratio to a more moderate 3:2, perhaps more appropriate for service in a “fine” Italian restaurant as Baracca’s must have been in the early 1900s.
