What a heartfelt video, Simon. Very happy I watched it.
Thank you!
Thank you!
Hi Simon,
Originally found in 'Old Waldorf Bar Days' (1931)
One of my absolute favorites and an undervalued gem of the pre-pro era for sure.

Hi Simon,
The most famous moniker for this recipe is the 'Obituary', often connected to New Orleans, which has its own entry here.
In the Old Waldorf Astoria books, variations included the 'Ballantine', 'Third Degree" and "Fourth Degree". Ted Saucier even had one called "La Liberte". All worthy of a run through. I put them all under 'Ballantine' in my book. FYI. Cheers!

This recipe is incorrectly listed in "1967 Cocktails and Mixed Drinks" by Charles Tuck, as a "Waldorf" cocktail.
Cheers!
