The Scofflaw Cocktail

Ingredients Instructions
Makes 1 Cocktail
 1 ounce rye whiskey
 1 ounce dry vermouth 1 In a glass filled with ice, mix all the ingredients. Shake and strain
into a chilled cocktail glass.
 1/4 - 3/4 ounce grenadine
(to taste)
 1/2 ounce lemon juice
 1 dash orange bitters
Notes
 Adapted from "The Official Mixer's Manual," by Gavin Duffy (1934).
 Scofflaw is a great word. The etymology is as follows: In 1923, a rich Prohibitionist wanted to
"stab awake the conscience" of those who drank and offered two hundred dollars to whoever could
come up with the best word to describe "a lawless drinker of illegally made or obtained liquor."

about whipping the egg white; if you shake the drink with ice, you
won't get a good froth.
4 Now crack your shaker open, add ice and shake hard a few times to
mix and chill. Strain into a chilled glass. If desired, top with a few
drops of Angostura bitters and, with a straw, swirl into the design
of your choice.

Adapted from a recipe by Philip Ward, Mayahuel, New York

This drink is a fabulous variation on the regular Negroni, and
it's named for the town of Cornwall, New York. Philip Ward,
creator of this drink, is thought to have been banned from
Cornwall . . .

New Amsterdam

Ingredients

60 ml (2oz) Bols genever

30 ml (1 oz) Clear Creek
kirschwasser
1 barspoon Demerara
Syrup*
2 dashes Peychaud's
bitters
1 lemon twist, as garnish
Adapted from a recipe from Jim Meehan, PDT, New York City.
Genever was hard, if not impossible, to find in the USA at the
end of the twentieth century. Now, though, it's making a
comeback, and this is one of the first twenty-first-century
cocktails to call for it as a base.

Instructions

1. Stir over ice and

strain into a chilled
cocktail glass.
Add the garnish.
Scottish Pair

Ingredients

22.5 ml (.75 oz)

Hendrick's gin
22.5 ml (.75 oz)
Glenfiddich 12-year-old
single malt scotch
60 ml (2 oz) pear nectar
15 ml (.5 oz) agave nectar
1 lemon wedge, as garnish
1 pear slice, as garnish
Instructions
Adapted from a recipe by Charlotte Voisey, Mixologist,
Hendrick's Gin.
There's some pear nectar in this drink, so you might get the
impression that perhaps the creator misspelled the name of the
cocktail, but no, it's just a little wordplay on behalf of Ms.
Voisey. The "Scottish Pair" refers to the Hendrick's gin and the
Glenfiddich single malt scotch called for in the recipe. Both are
made in Scotland, you see, and Ms. Voisey enjoys to play with
words.

1. Shake over ice and

strain into a chilled
cocktail glass.
Add the garnishes.

The East Ender

Ingredients Instructions

 3 ounces dry gin 1 Fill an old-fashioned glass with ice. Add the ingredients in order,
 1 ounce sweet vermouth stir briefly, and garnish.
 5 dashes Angostura bitters
 1 flamed (optional)
orange twist, as garnish

Notes
The East-Ender, for all intents and purposes, is merely a Manhattan made with gin, but I can't
find a similar recipe anywhere, unless you want to call it a Gin & It - gin and Italian, or sweet,
vermouth - with bitters. Given that the Manhattan has been my drink of choice for, oh, let's just say
that it's over a dozen years at this point, none of my friends were very surprised when I told them
about the East-Ender, though I must say that it's been a delight to see their faces when they taste the
drink. It works very well indeed. Best of all, though, the East-Ender is most definitely a session
cocktail. Take her for a spin around the dance floor. She's got a lovely pair of gams.
