Millionaire

2 oz Rye
1⁄2 oz Orange liqueur, Grand Marnier
1 ds Grenadine
1⁄2 Egg white
Instructions

Hard shake, then strain into a cocktail glass.

Notes

The original Millionaire from Frank Meier at the Ritz is weird: 1 oz rye whiskey, 1 dash each grenadine and Pernod, 1/2 an egg white, shaken. This is David Wondrich's variation.

History

Created at London's top-shelf Ritz Hotel, sometime before 1925

  • A rare egg white cocktail without citrus.
  • How do you get half an egg white? Guess? Is there an easy oz measurement

Replying to the undated/uncredited note from another user: you can either make two or eye-ball a half eggwhite or measure out a tablespoon (as a large egg white is about 1 oz).

Quite good using Lustau Rose Vermouth (didn't have BroVo's Rose Vermouth). Interesting combination of floral and bitter in a potent rye Boulevardier riff. Note: Reference link is dead and I haven't found an archive link.

  • With Citadelle gin, it’s very close to what they serve at Anvil. I don’t have habanero syrup so I use more Bittermens. Cutting back the simple syrup to 1/4 oz and the lime rind to 1/4 lime works well for our tastes. — ★★★★★
