82. Chrisp Cocktail


My interpretation:
  1.5 oz Bombay Sapphire
  1.5 oz Carpano Antica
  1 dash Regan’s Orange Bitters
  1 slice of orange, halved.

Shake with ice, strain, garnish with fresh half-slice of orange; serve. — This cocktail recipe appears first in Straub 1913/1914 and then in JM 1916. It is also presumably found, with two slices of orange, under the variant name “Christ Cocktail” in the Waldorf-Astoria Bar Book (1935), which, though published after the Sad Era, purports to contain the correct recipes commonly used before Prohibition.

76. C. A. W. Cocktail


My interpretation:
  1.25 oz Carpano Antica
  1.25 oz Dolin Extra Dry
  0.75 oz Asbach Uralt

Shake with ice, strain, garnish with orange peel; serve. — This recipe comes from Straub 1913/14 and is presumably named for the Chicago Auto Workers union.

74. Captain Cocktail

My interpretation:
  1.5 oz Rémy Martin VSOP
  1.5 oz Carpano Antica.

Fill mixing-glass with cracked ice. Stir, strain, and serve. — This elegant and simple Duo first appears in the expanded JM 1916. There is no analogue in Straub.

64. Busch Cocktail


My interpretation:
  1.5 oz Carpano Antica
  1.5 oz Bombay Sapphire
  1 tsp Daron Calvados

Shake with ice, strain, serve. — This recipe, a “sweet Martini with apple brandy,” previously appeared in Straub 1913/1914 before being included in JM 1916. The name suggests relation to the Beer Magnate.

55. Brighton Cocktail

 My interpretation:
  1.5 oz Carpano Antica
  0.75 oz Uncle Val’s Restorative
  0.75 oz Hayman’s Old Tom Gin
  1 dash Regan’s Orange Bitters

Stir well (20 seconds) with ice, garnish with twisted lemon peel, serve. — Another interesting cocktail apparently picked up from Straub 1914 for the JM 1916 edition, this “Martini” riff sweetens the gin side slightly with a spot of Old Tom.
