My interpretation:
1.5 oz Beefeater London Dry Gin
0.5 oz Vermut Lustau
1 dash Chartreuse
0.25 oz (1 T) fresh orange juice
Fill mixing-glass with broken ice, shake, strain into cocktail glass, serve. — This recipe first appears in JM 1910 (2nd ed.) with one small but distinct difference:
This suggests that the Orange Cocktail had a unique vessel, a hollowed orange-peel, perhaps half an orange peel set intact into a coupe. This novelty was eventually dropped, as demonstrated by JM 1916. Here I have chosen a rounded wine glass in homage of the name and original presentation.
