294. Raymond Cocktail
My interpretation:
1 oz Castle & Key Dry Gin
.75 oz Noilly Prat Rouge
.75 oz Noilly Prat Extra Dry
2 dashes Chartreuse
lemon twist
Fill mixing-glass with ice, stir, strain into champagne coupe or flute, garnish with lemon, serve. — This Perfect Martini riff with an herbal undertone first appears in JM 1910 and continues unchanged. It does not appear to have any counterparts in other manuals. The Raymond Hitch Cocktail in the Savoy (1930) does not seem to be related.

256. Orange Cocktail
My interpretation:
1.5 oz Beefeater London Dry Gin
0.5 oz Vermut Lustau
1 dash Chartreuse
0.25 oz (1 T) fresh orange juice
Fill mixing-glass with broken ice, shake, strain into cocktail glass, serve. — This recipe first appears in JM 1910 (2nd ed.) with one small but distinct difference:
This suggests that the Orange Cocktail had a unique vessel, a hollowed orange-peel, perhaps half an orange peel set intact into a coupe. This novelty was eventually dropped, as demonstrated by JM 1916. Here I have chosen a rounded wine glass in homage of the name and original presentation.
