French 75

About The Cocktail

Although this cocktail is deliciously light and perfect to sip alongside a rooftop pool, its name actually derives from much sinister origins and was named after the 75-millimeter M1897, a French infantry canon that would deliver toxic gas shells to the fields of World War 1. It was famously sipped by Madeleine Lebeau and her Nazi companion in the Movie Casablanca.

Last Word

About The Cocktail

Originating from the Detroit Athletic Clubs of the 1920s, it disappeared from the drinking scene several decades later but not before it was mentioned in Ted Saucier’s book Bottoms Up where Murray Stenson found it and brought to bring it back to life at Seattles Zig Zag Cafe. The cocktails green tint comes from the Chartreuse, a liqueur originally intended for medicine use made from 130 different herbs and flowers made exclusively by Carthusian Monks according to a 400 year old manuscript. For the most part, these monks maintain no contact with the outside world.

Hanky Panky

About The Cocktail

Originally created for the late Sir Charles Hawtrey, an English actor whose promiscuity was only out weighed by his eccentricities. As a self taught actor, singer and dancer, he famously hated giving autographs and once threw a vase at a nurse from his hospital bed for requesting his signature shortly before his demise. Bartender Ada Coleman named the cocktail after Hawtrey took a sip and exclaimed “By Jove! That is the real hanky-panky!”.

  • 1 ¼ oz Desgin Gin
  • 1 ¼ oz Punt e Mes
  • 1 barspoon Fernet Branca

Garnish

  • 1 Orange Peel

Process

  1. Combine all ingredients in tin and shake.
  2. Double strain into cocktail glass.

Gimlet

About The Cocktail

The first whispers of the Gimlet appeared in 1953 in Raymond Chandlers book ‘The Long Goodbye’. Its name has also been linked to Rear-Admiral Sir Thomas Desmond Gimlette who would add Gin to the Lime juice he’d administer to sailors in order to ward of scurvy. Gin and Navy have a long and complex relationship, the term Navy Strength Gin was actually created after Sailors would test the strength of their alcohol by mixing it with gunpowder. If the gunpowder then refused to light, they then knew that they’d received weak and therefore subpar Gin. You don’t want to come between an Old Salt and his Gin.

Ingredients

  • 2 oz Desgin Gin
  • 1 oz Lime Juice
  • ½ oz Simple Syrup

Garnish

  • 1 Lime Peel

Process

  1. Combine all ingredients in tin and shake.
  2. Double strain into cocktail glass.
  3. Garnish with lime peel on edge of glass.
  4. If you are in the UK then don’t garnish. 1
  1. Shame. It is heresy if you are in the UK to garnish your Gimlet.
