Ocean Shore

A sloe gin sour with a touch of almond. If you opt not to follow my addition of vanilla bitters, then consider dropping the orgeat to 5ml (1 bar spoon)

This appears earlier than the 1934 edition. The 1908 ‘Latest Edition’ version (there are two 1908 editions on EUVS) has a section after the end of the previous edition named ‘Some new-up-to-now seductive American cocktails’; the Ocean Shore Cocktail appears there. That recipe has raspberry syrup as an alternative sweetener to orgeat.

Many thanks, James. I've referenced above and added the 1908 recipe.

I didn't have the vanilla bitters, but I kept the orgeat at 7.5ml and really enjoyed this one. It's a great sour. (Ocean Shore)
