History

A pre-prohibition cocktail from the Big Brass Rail bar of the original Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City USA named after a regular patron, "Sheriff Bob" Chanler. This recipe adapted from Albert Stevens Crockett's 1931 Old Waldorf Astoria Bar Days.

CHANLER
Several members of the well known Chanler family were among the patrons of the Bar. Solon thinks this was named after "Sheriff Bob" Chanler, the artist, whose matrimonial adventure with Mme. Lina Cavalieri, formerly of the Metropolitan Opera, was a sensational episode of the first decade of the century. "Bob" knew all the Waldorf bartenders by their first names.

Review

Lemon oils add mouthfeel and a delightful flavour, which combine with the botanicals of the gin and vermouth to preset as almost floral.

It's a sweet martini on the rocks; mystery solved. If thats your thing you won't be disappointed.

Shades of a Gin & It. The lemon (peel, oils) is rather prominent. The overall flavor came as a slight surprise, but I should've known better. Too much flab with the Old Tom.
