Emerson

1 3⁄4 oz Old Tom Gin, Hayman's
3⁄4 oz Sweet vermouth, Carpano Punt e Mes
1⁄2 oz Lime juice
1⁄4 oz Maraschino Liqueur, Luxardo
Notes

The Emerson is a cousin to the Last Word and Aviation, or, if you prefer, a Martinez Sour. Altered from the original measurements to make a more spirituous and drier cocktail. Improved by the addition of bitter vermouth. Some suggest Dubonnet in its place.

History

Appears in Jacques Straub's Drinks, 1914.

  • 3.5 if I could. Oddly, tastes a bit like a classier screwdriver. — ★★★
