193. Jersey Cocktail


My interpretation:
  1 oz Daron Calvados or Laird’s Bonded Apple Brandy
  1 oz Casa Mariol Vermut Negra
  1 dash Angostura bitters

Mix with ice, strain, garnish with lemon twist, serve. — The omission of ice in this 1908 recipe is curious, since the use of ice certainly improves the drink. However, the use of Laird’s Bonded Apple Brandy (not Applejack) really provides the proper fruity element for either chilled or unchilled preparation, and is especially appropriate in view of the name, since Jersey always originally referred to Laird’s, which began in Monmouth County, New Jersey. Straub 1913 substitutes 2 dashes of syrup for the jigger of Vermouth.
