198. John Wood Cocktail
My interpretation:
0.5 oz The Famous Grouse
1.5 oz Casa Mariol Vermut Negra
1 T lemon juice
1 dash homemade kümmel
1 dash Angostura bitters
Shake well (30 seconds), strain, and serve. — This cocktail, resembling almost a punch in its attentive balance, appears first in the Savoy Cocktail Book with Irish rather than Scotch whisky, and is then picked up for JM 1933 with a slight change. I have to admit, I think Jack improved this recipe by the substitution of Scotch, though I don’t know if John Wood approved it.
