History

This started out as a twist on the Third Rail #2, but after adding and removing all but the calvados I ended up with a drink with a more French minded flair. It has a sweet richness and yet an acid-enough edge that I ignored the "don't touch the third rail" warning

flickerdart commented on 6/14/2021:

For lack of ingredients, made this with Plymouth Navy Strength Gin, Lemorton Reserve Calvados, Pink House Alchemy grapefruit bitters. A very solid gin sour with a floral fruity note. If you don't like the sourness, a little bit of wildflower honey syrup would only improve the taste.


Mamie Taylor Cocktail

1⁄2 oz Lime juice
4 oz Ginger beer (*4-6oz)
1 sli Lime
Instructions

In a tall glass filled with ice squeeze half a lime then add Scotch.

Top with ginger beer and garnish with a lime wedge.

Notes

This recipe works best with a spicier ginger beer

History

A classic made specially for the famed opera singer Mayme Taylor (there is no real reason noted why her name spelling changed) by a barman who couldn't fill her first order of claret lemonade. Instead she sipped this gingery, smoky, citrusy pour and was sold.
