327. Slome Cocktail
My interpretation:
0.75 oz Old Forester Signature / 100 pf
0.75 oz Martell VS
0.66 oz Dubonnet Rouge
Fill shaker half-full with fine ice, frappé / shake vigorously 20 seconds, strain into cocktail glass, serve. — This fine Bourbon-Brandy Manhattan riff (with Dubonnet doing double-duty for vermouth and bitters) first surfaces in Straub 1913. The formula yields a nice foam that lingers for a couple minutes if undisturbed, or pleasantly tickles the lip of the anxious imbiber. One wonders if the name is a corruption of Salome, and if it was thus another cocktail in commemoration of that erstwhile famous play / operetta (though nothing in the recipe suggests the exoticism met by the other recipe with its celery leaves).
