Review:

Despite the maraschino liqueur this Martini-style cocktail is dry and punchy.

History:

Adapted from a recipe in Harry Johnson's 1900 Bartenders' Manual.

Turf Cocktail.
(Use a large bar glass.)
¾ full of shave ice;
2 or 3 dashes of orange bitters;
2 or 3 dashes of maraschino;
2 dashes of absinthe;
½ wine glass of French vermouth;
½ wine glass of Plymouth gin;
Stir up well with a spoon, strain into a cocktail glass, putting in a medium-size olive; and serve.

Harry Johnson, 1900
