2nd #cocktail of #FridayNightCocktails on 17th February: Ampersand

Our second cocktail is the Ampersand which first showed up in print in Albert Stevens Crocktett’s 1934 Old Waldorf Bar days.

There are a few variations of the recipe floating around, but we’ve opted one very similar to the original, only missing the two dashes of curacao added to the glass after pouring from the mixing jug.
