The Brown Cocktail

50ml (2 oz) Templeton Rye Whiskey

25ml (1 oz) London Dry Gin

2 dashes (a scant barspoon at most) gomme syrup

2 dashes The Bitter Truth Orange Bitters

Stir the three ingredients with plenty of ice before straining into a chilled cocktail glass. The original makes no mention of a garnish, but I like it with a small orange twist to draw out some of the sweeter notes.

“Old Waldorf Bar Days” by Albert Stevens Crockett was one of the great books of the 1930`s. The bar of the Old Waldorf hotel was the social meeting place in NYC at that time, but unfortunately the hotel itself had to make room for a new icon of New York City – The Empire State Building.

The Sherman Cocktail, found in Crockett`s book is essentially a twist on the classic Manhattan with the addition of absinthe and two types of bitters.
