352. Turn Cocktail

My interpretation:
  2 oz Plymouth Sloe Gin
  4 dashes Fee Brothers Cardamom Bitters

Fill mixing-glass with cracked ice, stir, strain into cocktail glass, serve. — This mostly sweet, slightly bitter postprandial recipe first appears in JM 1912 under this name, and is evidently unknown by that name in other books. It represents a mild improvement on unadulterated sloe gin, and a great improvement on the room-temperature variety.
 

181. Improved Manhattan Cocktail

My interpretation:
  1.5 oz Hochstadter's Rye
  1.5 oz Alessio Chinato
  1 dash Fee Bros. Cardamom
  1 dash Luxardo maraschino

Stir with 1/2 glass (about 6 oz) cracked ice, strain into cocktail glass, serve. — This recipe appears first in Jack's Manual 1908 with specification of Martini Rossi vermouth and Boker's Bitters. It “improves” the traditional Manhattan simply by adding maraschino. Straub omits this recipe while retaining the Improved Martini (see next).
