200. Junkins Cocktail

My interpretation:
  1.5 oz Hochstadter’s 100 Pf Rye
  0.5 oz Alessio Chinato

Stir with ice, strain into whisky glass with piece ice, twist lemon peel, serve with spoon. — A recipe under this name first appears at least in JM 1910 (2nd Edition) — the 1st Edition before me lacks the appropriate page— with the following recipe:

However, after the publication of Straub 1913, the JM recipe follows his Rye or Gin + Vermouth variation. It is possible that this was closer to the source which JM was trying to replicate based on visual memory. In 1912, JM had a different variation (again with a small glass, spoon, and lemon peel), resembling a sort of “Improved Rye Cocktail” served down:

Pictured below is the post-Straub recipe as it appears in JM 1933:

199. Judge Smith Cocktail

My interpretation:
  1.75 Hochstadter’s Bonded Rye
  0.25 Rothman & Winter Apricot Liqueur

Stir with ice 25 seconds, strain, serve. — This cocktail, essentially a cold, diluted rye service with apricot for sweetener, first appeared in JM 1908; it is otherwise known simply as Judge. Straub 1913 picks it up and gives it a 7:1 proportion under this more generic name.

191. Japanese Cocktail

My interpretation:
  1.0 oz Casa Mariol Vermut Negra
  0.75 oz Hochstadter’s Bonded Rye
  0.25 oz Jack Rudy grenadine
  2 dashes Pierre Ferrand Dry Curaçao

Shake vigorously with broken ice 30 strokes, strain, serve. — This recipe dates back to JM 1908 and is picked up by Straub in 1913. Japanese Cocktail is otherwise, and now more normally, a cognac-orgeat recipe with lemon peel, as in the 1930 Savoy Cocktail Book.

 

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).

178. Hurricane Cocktail

My interpretation:
  0.5 oz Big Gin
  0.5 oz Hochstadters Rye
  0.25 oz Hiram Walker Crème de Menthe
  2 T lemon juice

 Shake well (20 seconds), strain into cocktail glass, serve. — This bracing cocktail is taken from the Savoy Cocktail Book (1930). The now more popular, tropical-style drink by the same name, invented only much later in the 1940s in New Orleans, is clearly unrelated, except for the large amount of juice.
 

177. Hunter Cocktail

My interpretation:
  1.5 oz Hochstadters Straight Rye Whisky (100 pf)
  0.5 oz Cherry Heering

Stir, strain, serve. — This Jack’s Manual original Duo (good for an aperitif) was picked up by Jacques Straub in 1913 for his own manual, the ratios being altered, as typical, from 3:1 to 2:1.

129. Ewing Cocktail

My interpretation:
  2 oz Hochstadter’s Straight Rye
  3 dashes Angostura bitters

Fill mixing-glass with ice, stir, strain into cocktail glass, and serve. — This traditional whisky cocktail with an extra dose of bitters appears in Straub 1913, from whence it is borrowed by JM 1916. Mr. Ewing liked his whisky bitter.
 

128. Evans' Cocktail

 My interpretation:
  2 oz Hochstadter’s Straight Rye
  1 dash Pierre Ferrand Dry Curaçao
  1 dash Rothman & Winter Apricot Liqueur
  1 dash Fee Brothers Cardamom Bitters (Boker’s Style)

Fill mixing-glass with cracked ice, stir 30 seconds, strain into cocktail glass, serve. — This JM 1908 standby, a variation on a traditional “fancy” whisky cocktail, originally called for Boker’s Bitters, though this specification soon fell away before the 2nd edition in 1910 (I use Fee Brothers cardamom in tribute to this, and it fits really well with the profile). The apostrophe in the name was added in 1933. Straub borrows the recipe in 1913, omitting bitters altogether. Note that I have taken apricot brandy to indicate the sweeter, fruitier brandy-based liqueur, rather than a drier brandy distilled from apricots; this is supported by the small dosage required, suggesting a more flavorful quality.
 

124. Dutch Charlie's Cocktail

My interpretation:
  1 oz Hochstadter’s Straight Rye
  1 oz Dubonnet
  0.5 Dolin Rouge
  2 dashes Angostura bitters

Fill mixing-glass with ice, stir 30 seconds, strain into cocktail glass, serve. — From Straub 1913, this vinous Manhattan riff was borrowed for JM 1916, changing the original 1:1:1 recipe to 2:2:1.
