1 1/2 parts gin - I used bombay sapphire
1 part simple syrup - adjust accordingly for sweetnes
3/4 part fresh lemon juice - I used meyer and it makes a bif difference
2-3 shakes angostura bitters - this is important don’t leave it out.
Shake and serve in a rocks glass over ice, or up. I prefer the former.
Nice recommendation, George. I just made one and it’s delicious. And I completely agree about the bitters. It brings everything together with adding a bit of spice to the lemon juice and simple syrup. I used Hendrick’s gin. Cheers.
Nancy - I don’t know it’s namesake but according to Dale DeGroff he created it one night in the 90s at the Rainbow Room. It is really the bitters that make this.
If you don’t have The Essential Cocktail by Dale Degroff I highly suggest picking up a copy. I have made probably 25+ cocktails from this book. Really, really good with a lot of history.
