Opened in 1910, The Wallick Hotel sat at the corner of 43rd Street and Broadway in New York City and was owned by the brothers Louis C. and Adrian L. Wallick.

I paired it with orange cake. It’s incredible how the orange popped on the palate. Minimal, light and precise.

Used a ratio of 30-30-7,5 ml. Makes a palatable Martini … for non-Martini drinkers (to which I belong).

I had Tanqueray Sevilla Orange and Cinzano Extra Dry and used the given proportions. It is quite orangey, but I like it! I’ll try it again when I get some unflavored London Dry gin. (I usually only have American style gin, but have been enjoying my Negronis with the Sevilla Orange and perfect martinis with Tanqueray's Rangspur Lime. Both are nice diversions.)
