Thanksgiving offering

The Adonis cocktail is a great libation to set up the palate before your big Thanksgiving dinner— it’s low in alcohol and big on taste. The Adonis cocktail is named after the first Broadway musical in New York which ran over 600 performances at the Bijou Theatre in 1884. Created at the bar in the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, it remains one of the most popular sherry-based aperitif cocktails to this day.  My take on the recipe follows.

Ingredientsadonis2

  • 2 ounces Lustau East India Solera Sherry
  • 1 ounce Vya Extra Dry Vermouth
  • 2 dashes of orange bitters

Combine all the ingredients in a mixing glass. Add ice and stir until well chilled. Strain into a cocktail glass and garnish with an orange peel.

Have a great Thanksgiving!

Cheers!

The Bee’s Knees

The NEA BIG READ kick-off event was a great success. Thank you, Blanche, for a great day! There were Dust Bowl Dancers, young actors reading excerpts from the Grapes of Wrath, marvelous fiddlers and my stories about Prohibition. The signature drink was Bee’s Knees, a classic prohibition cocktail made with gin, honey syrup and fresh lemon. We all know that the “Bee’s Knees” was “flapper chatter” for the best of the best, but did you knoscreen-shot-2016-09-15-at-12-26-05-pmw that in the Roaring Twenties there was a famous dancer, Bee Jackson, who introduced the Charleston to Broadway. Rumor has it, the expression became popular because of her very active knees—oh those Bee’s Knees!

Another popular cocktail, the Ward Eight, was actually created by the bartender at Lock-Ober’s restaurant on election eve 1898 at the request of Martin Lomasney, the political boss of Ward Eight in the West End of Boston to mark the occasion. Essentially it was a whiskey sour to which orange juice and grenadine were added giving it a rosy glow. Because it was the perfect mask for homemade rye, the cocktail made a great comeback during Prohibition. It was considered the “Cosmo” of it’s day!
