Amsterdam Cocktail

Orange-yellow in flavour with genever adding a pleasant spiritous bready backbone to orange fruit. Perhaps serve with marmalade on toast for breakfast

Interestingly, it would appear that Victor Bergeron ‘borrowed’ this recipe from a book called “The How and When” by Hyman Gale & Gerald F. Marco, published by Harmanson in New Orleans in 1937. I don’t have a copy of the book, but I’m told that the recipe is on page 90 and the comment is:
“A favorite at the Carlton Hotel, Amsterdam, Netherland”
and the recipe is:
30 ml genever
15 ml orange juice
15 ml Cointreau
4 dashes orange bitters
Shake with ice and strain into a cocktail glass.

Many thanks, James. I've added both recipes and will revisit and rephotograph this cocktail ASAP.

I like to up the genever a bit (60ml) and add one or two dashes of absinth.
