My interpretation:
1 oz Castle & Key London Dry Gin
1 oz Martini & Rossi Sweet Vermouth
2 dashes St. George Absinthe Verte
2 dashes Luxardo maraschino
2 dashes Regan’s Orange Bitters
1 dash Fee Brothers Cardamom Bitters
Fill mixing-glass half full of ice, stir well, strain into cocktail glass, drop in olive, serve. — This Dry Martini augmented by dashes from half the liquor cabinet appears in JM1908 and continues unchanged. It becomes the Turf Cocktail No. 1 in Straub 1913, where the No. 2 is Holland gin, sweet vermouth, and bitters—essentially a Sweet Martini with genever, which is the recipe named “Turf Club” in JM1916 (see the next post), but simply “Turf” in the Old Waldorf Bar Book (1931).
