From other users
  • Used Wild Turkey Bourbon 101. Too sweet so added 0.25 oz bourbon--much better. Next time use 2 oz Bourbon or use less vermouth (no more than 1 oz) Rate 4.0-4.5
  • Strong! Is there a way to lighten it?
  • Good. Lots going on here. A bit sweet though… prob needs the higher proof. 3 w/o it.
  • Made with Makers Cask Strength, Dolin, and Maraska.
  • I feared it would be too sweet but the high octane spirit (I used Evan Williams white label) countered effectively.

The Cocktail Virgin post calls for 1/4 ounce of maraschino. That change made a big difference for me.

Chocolate martini without it being some gross, sugary mess like you'd normally get if you asked for that? I'm down

So I went looking for this drink, and it seems to be 1906ish, but it's equal parts Tom Gin and dry vermouth plus some orange bitters. Anyone have the original Imbibe to see if the cocoa is a Wondrich thing? Thanks,  Zachary

Wondrich's book, Imbibe! notes the Cacao discrepancy in Kappeler, and uses as a source the New York Sun, 1893. Without seeing the particular article, it is hard to tell. I haven't seen the 2011 Imbibe article where Wondrich provides the Racquet Club Cocktail recipe either, but the Imbibe! book's recipe is somewhat anachronistic, using Plymouth gin (even it if was gin made in Plymouth, wouldn't an Old Tom be closer to the style at the time or was Plymouth gin dry by then?) It also is a 50:50 (rather than shown in the recipe on this site.) Wondrich's ingredient notes say, "Use an Italian vermouth" rather than dry vermouth as given here and by Kappeler. So I am not sure what has happened but something seems mixed up. Was "French vermouth: intended rather than "Italian?" I dunno, but it makes a nice cocktail with Plymouth, Regan's orange bitters, and Tempus Fugit Creme de Cacao using a mild red vermouth such as Dolin Rouge.

Gin-Cel-Ray

4 oz Soda water, Dr. Brown's Cel-Ray
1 sli Lime
1 sli Cucumber
Instructions

Pour gins into an ice filled highball glass. Top off with Cel-Ray and stir. Add a slice each of lime and cucumber

History

Dr. Brown's Cel-Ray soda has been sold as a bottled soda since 1886, and was originally developed to treat immigrant children in NY. The original seltzer contained celery seeds and sugar. I love the old world celery flavor the soda contains, and it goes perfectly with the bright botanicals of gin.

Grey commented on 1/16/2014:

Simple and enjoyable. A nice way to bring the gins together. A good alternative to a gin and tonic.

thanks a lot--i'm a big fan of the components, and they're often overpowered by other elements in a cocktail.

Curated this slightly - changed Rangpur Gin to Gin, Tanqueray Rangpur. Changed Celery soda water to soda water.

Thanks,

Zachary
