  • Totally fine. Would benefit from a bit more lemon (not quite a 1/4oz probably, although I thought that was helpful).

Made this with Jameson IPA Cask, King's Ginger, and 0.4 oz date syrup. Probably a bit different but delicious.

I was skeptical of the high dose of bitters but it's a winner! I did a reverse shake but but didn't seem to add anything.

The Chanticleer Cocktail

1 oz Gin
1 1⁄2 oz Dry vermouth
1⁄2 oz Triple sec
1 twst Orange peel (for garnish)
Instructions

Stir and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Add the garnish.

History

"Adapted from a pre-Prohibition era drink of the same name, the original recipe called for orange-flavored gin and the white of an egg. I reformulated the Chanticleer using triple sec for the orange flavor and dropping the egg white altogether. The word, chanticleer is French for rooster and at the old Waldorf-Astoria bar, the drink was served with 'a Cock'€™s Comb, if desired.'" --Regan

  • Made it the original way - Tanqueray Flor de Sevilla (close enough) and Noilly Prat, 1:1.
  • Like the Black Feather with Gin instead of Brandy.

Quite good, and heightened finely by a couple drops of oleo saccharum (should you have it on hand).

Love it. Have also made it with Mattei Cap Corse blanc instead of dry vermouth, loved it.
