Αξιολόγηση:
This long, fruity cocktail packs a cognac-charged punch, but as the ice melts, it mellows and becomes refreshing.
Ιστορία:
The first known reference to a cocktail of this name appears in Leo-Engel's 1880 American Other Drinks.
ALABAZAM.
Leo Engel, American Other Drinks, 1880
Use tumbler.
One tea-spoonful of Angostura bitters; two tea-spoons of orange Curaçao; one tea-spoonful of white sugar; one tea-spoonful of lemon juice; half a wine glass of brandy. Shake up well with fine ice and strain in a claret glass.
However, the bitter-heavy 1880 recipe bears little resemblance to the Alabazam we know today and which comes from William Schmidt's 1892 The Flowing Bowl – When and What to Drink.
