Tuxedo Cocktail No.3 (Lowe & Straub's recipe)

Σερβίρεται σε:

Γαρνιτούρα:

Luxardo Maraschino cherry

Πώς φτιάχνεται:

STIR all ingredients with ice and strain into chilled glass.

Αξιολόγηση:

Although only a spoonful, the sherry used dramatically impacts the finished cocktail. We tried amontillado but found this drink works best with either fino sherry or manzanilla sherries.

Παραλλαγές:

Tuxedo "Original" - equal parts (1½oz/45ml) old tom gin and (1½oz/45ml) dry vermouth with 2 dashes maraschino; 1 dash absinthe; 2 or 3 dashes of orange bitters.
Tuxedo No. 1 (Savoy & Duffy's recipe) - equal parts dry gin and dry vermouth with lemon peel and absinthe.
Tuxedo No. 2 (Savoy & Duffy's recipe) - equal parts dry gin and dry vermouth with maraschino, orange bitters and absinthe.
Tuxedo No.4 (AKA Tussetto) - two-thirds dry gin to one-third dry sherry with orange bitters.
Tuxedo (Difford's recipe) - as per the "Original" but with dry sherry and some balancing sweetness by splitting dry and bianco vermouths.
Flora Bar's Tuxedo No.2 - in an absinthe-rinsed glass with dry gin, bianco vermouth, maraschino liqueur and orange bitters.
