66. B. V. D. Cocktail
My interpretation:
0.33 oz Bacardí 8 (1/3 pony)
1.66 oz Bombay Sapphire
1 oz Gallo Extra Dry
Shake well (20 seconds) with ice, strain into cocktail glass. — This classic cocktail, not appearing in previous editions of JM, was added to the Post-Prohibition 1933 edition from an unknown source, perhaps with intentional adjustment of the proportions. It calls for a gin-heavy drink light on the rum, where other recipes often call for equal parts. A cynic might call it a “Dry Martini with a dash of rum.”

63. Bud's Cocktail
My interpretation:
1.5 oz Bombay Sapphire
0.75 oz Gallo Extra Dry
0.75 oz Yzaguirre Rojo
1 dash Regan’s Orange Bitters
1 dash Hiram Walker Apricot Brandy
Fill mixing-glass with cracked ice, shake, strain, serve. Garnish with twisted orange peel. — This Cocktail, a “perfect Martini with a couple extras,” first appears in the reorganized and expanded JM 1916.
