Notes about Recipes in this book

• Blood orange

  • fprincess on November 18, 2011

    Used Charbay blood orange vodka

• Aviation cocktail

  • fprincess on November 26, 2011

    I like to make my Aviation with a dash Rothman & Winter Crème de Violette. For an Aviatrix, add 1/2 oz Saint Germain to the base recipe. Picture of the Aviation here: http://egullet.org/p1862387

• El Floridita no. 1

  • fprincess on November 26, 2011

    This cocktail is wonderful. I like it with Flor de Cana 4 yr or, even better, with La Favorite Rhum Agricole blanc (white).

• Hawaiian cocktail

  • fprincess on November 26, 2011

    This is one of the very rare cocktails in this book that I did not care for.

• John Collins

  • fprincess on November 26, 2011

    Made with Bols Genever. Picture here: http://egullet.org/p1862427

• Martinez

  • fprincess on November 26, 2011

    This drink is wonderful with Old Tom gin. For a variation, use Bonal gentian-quina instead of the sweet vermouth.

• Scofflaw cocktail

  • fprincess on November 26, 2011

    It's essential to use good quality grenadine in this cocktail.

• Valentino

  • fprincess on November 26, 2011

    I did not care at all for this one.

• Hot buttered rum

  • fprincess on December 04, 2011

    Classic wintery drink. I used 4 oz water, 1.5 oz dark rum and 0.5 oz spiced rum.

• Delmarva cocktail no. 3

  • fprincess on December 13, 2011

    I am not completely sold on this one but this is an intriguing combination of rye and amaretto that is well balanced.

• Ramos gin fizz

  • fprincess on February 24, 2012

    Very nice cocktail, almost like a milk shake. I used passion fruit syrup (homemade) instead of the lime and lemon juices.

• Rye and ginger

  • fprincess on May 04, 2012

    This one is really simple, a twist on the Canadian club and ginger ale. It's delicious and refreshing. Picture here: http://egullet.org/p1869862

• Vesper martini

  • fprincess on May 04, 2012

    Much improved when using Cocchi Americano instead of Lillet. Picture here: http://egullet.org/p1862918

• Whiskey old-fashioned (peach)

  • fprincess on October 18, 2012

    I made this white peach old-fashioned for my husband. He did not like the little bits of muddled peach in the drink so I ended up straining it for him. Photo here: http://forums.egullet.org/topic/143111-its-peach-season-time-for-bourbon/page__p__1891544#entry1891544

• Moon walk

  • fprincess on November 19, 2012

    Created in 1969 by Joe Gilmore from the Savoy. Light and delicate but still a solid cocktail. Photo here: http://forums.egullet.org/topic/43836-cocktails-with-champagne/page__st__30__p__1898450#entry1898450
