261. Palmetto Cocktail

My interpretation:
  1 oz Appleton Estate
  1 oz Casa Mariol Vermut
  3 dashes Angostura bitters

Add ice to fill mixing-glass half way, stir well (20 seconds), strain into cocktail glass, serve. — This Rum Manhattan riff first appears in JM 1908 and continues unchanged until 1933. It also appears in other New York books with small variation. In 1913, Straub picks up the recipe, substituting Dry Vermouth for Sweet and frappéing for stirring. The Savoy Cocktail Book (1930) has sweet vermouth, but calls for 2 dashes of orange bitters and shaking. The Old Waldorf Bar Book (1931) based on the older bar manual, specifies 1 dash of orange bitters and stirring.
