Our third cocktail is the Marguerite (Johnson). We previously posted the Tim Daly version from his 1903 Bartenders Encyclopedia which differs a little from Harry Johnson’s 1900 New and Improved Bartenders’ Manual that we couldn;t resist making for this evening.
Our second cocktail is the Phish Hook. Created by Jamie Boudreau in 2010; this is the Simon Difford variant.
Our first cocktail is the Jabroni. Thought to be created for tequila brand, Teremana, the Jabroni uses one of the brands owners, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson’s favourite insults.
Our second cocktail is the Platinum Blonde. A sophisticated cream cocktail of unknown origin.
Our second cocktail is the Ruby Porto Tonico, a variant of the Porto Tonico which replaces white port with the ruby variety.
Our first cocktail is the Rosita. The Rosita is a Negroni variant of unknown origin, but it first appeared in print in the 1974 edition of the Mr. Boston Official Bartender’s Guide; the recipe we used is an adaptation by Gary “Gaz” Regan who upped the tequila and added bitters.
Blanco or reposado tequila are both acceptable for this cocktail; blanco will give more up-front brighter notes, while reposado will give an added oak depth which leans the drink more to the Boulevardier than the Negroni.
