Shawn C commented on 4/25/2025:

Interesting that the link does not list the creator. There is a recent version of the cocktail attributed to James Cottingham. The only notable difference is the addition of 1.5 oz of pink grapefruit juice. https://chilledmagazine.com/cocktails/the-bang-bang/ I assume he is the original creator, but do not know if he updated the recipe or if the grapefruit juice was omitted in whatever the original source was.

Uno, Dos, Cuarenta y Tres

1 1⁄4 oz Light rum
1⁄2 oz Spiced Rum, Sailor Jerry
1⁄2 oz Jamaican rum, Smith & Cross
1⁄2 oz Licor 43
1⁄2 oz Lime juice (heavy)
5 dr Bolivar Bitters, Bittercube
Instructions

Shake, strain, chilled coupe

Notes

Sailor Jerry MUST be the spiced rum used in this drink--the vanilla and cherry undertones play off the Licor 43 and the island spice of the bitters

History

A nice, heady, twist on a daiquiri

Delmonico

1 oz Gin
1⁄2 oz Cognac
1⁄2 oz Dry vermouth
1⁄2 oz Sweet vermouth
2 ds Bitters, Angostura
1 twst Lemon peel (as garnish)
History

While Delmonico’s as it was no longer exists, the Delmonico Cocktail (as well as its fellow No. 1 and No. 2) does, albeit being not frequently found in cocktail books. It makes no appearance in Boothby’s American Bar-tender (1891) or Kappeler’s Modern American Drinks (1895); the Old Waldorf-Astoria Bar Book (1935) defines it as a dash orange bitters, ½ French vermouth, ½ Plymouth gin, two slices orange peel and claims it was “adopted from the bar of Old Delmonico’s”.

The variations that we find in modern books offer up varying pours of Gin, Brandy, Dry and Sweet Vermouth, and Bitters. As a Vermouth drink, it can be placed around the late 1800s, probably about 1876 according to David Wondrich, who believes it originated at Delmonico’s Madison Square location. Wondrich’s version calls for 0.75 oz Gin and an orange twist; we’ve opted for the more commonly seen 1 oz Gin and a lemon twist.

  • I like Orange Bitters in this one.
  • Made it with an orange twist. This is a pleasant drink, an accessible example of the species, but a little generic. — ★★★★
