1 oz Copper & King’s Blanche Absinthe
1 oz Casa Mariol Vermut
Fill mixing-glass half-full of ice, shake, strain into cocktail glass, serve. — This bracing recipe first appears in JM 1912. A recipe by the same name in Straub 1913/1914 is a stirred dry Martini with a dash of absinthe on top. This suggests a common source imperfectly reproduced in one or either of the books. Straub is corroborated by reference to the 1931 Old Waldorf Bar Book, which also inserts 1 dash of Orange Bitters in the dry Martini. A different cocktail by the same name in The Savoy Cocktail Book (1930) is a large-format cocktail for 6 people consisting of gin, orange juice, and curaçao, etc.
