273. Philadelphia Cocktail

My interpretation
  1 oz Aria American Dry Gin
  1 oz Lustau Vermut
  1 dash Pierre Ferrand Dry Curaçao

Stir with ice, strain into cocktail glass, serve. — This recipe first appears in Straub 1913, by the same description (Martini with a dash of curaçao) and from Straub is borrowed into JM 1916. In Straub, however, a dash of Orange Bitters is included in the recipe. I have interpreted the curaçao as a substitute for the bitters, but it would be perhaps more justifiable to see both involved here. Note also that in earlier editions of Jack’s Manual, there is a drink called Philadelphia Bronx, which is essentially a sort of Perfect served in an Old-Fashioned glass and topped off with ginger ale.
