History
An exhumed classic recommended to us by Jason E. Clapham who says "the war of the name rhymes with bar, at one time as a slang word for working day.
This cocktail notably features in Harry Craddock's 1930 The Savoy Cocktail Book.
WARDAY'S COCKTAIL.
Harry Craddock, 1930
1 Teaspoon Chartreuse.
1/3 Italian Vermouth.
1/3 Dry Gin.
1/3 Calavdos or Apple Brandy.
Shake well and strain into cocktail glass.
Review
Apple brandy with complex botanical influences from both gin and Chartreuse mellowed by botanically enriched fortified wine. If you like spirit-forward cocktails, then this Yale Fence on monastic steroids takes some beating.

it's like a big hit on a double apple lost mary while you glumpf down a mcdonalds apple pie.
i think it may be better with a martini rosso, as the cocchi brings a lot of sweetness that's already provided by the calvados, but it was a nice autumnal warming refresher.
Lairds 86, Rockwell sweet vermouth, Roku gin, chartreuse. Orange twist.
This recipe is incorrectly listed in "1967 Cocktails and Mixed Drinks" by Charles Tuck, as a "Waldorf" cocktail.
Cheers!
