Q-step Posted August 2, 2009 #4 Share Posted August 2, 2009 According to the cocktail museum (Yes- there is such a place) for a drink to be called a "cocktail" it must include bitters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken_W Posted August 2, 2009 #5 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Either a Bourbon Old Fashioned or a Vieux Carre, which is rye whiskey, cognac, sweet vermouth, angostura and peychaud bitters. I've also a fondness for French 75's, which most bartenders will make with gin, Champagne, sugar and lemon; but tell them to omit the gin and replace it with a nice cognac, like a Hennessy V.S., for a divine -- but lethal -- libation.

Mudhen Posted August 2, 2009 #6 Share Posted August 2, 2009 How 'bout a Jack Rose? Wonderful pale pink with white fluffy stuff (egg white?) on the top? It was my mom's cocktail and I was allowed to have a sip on occasion! Delish!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piers. :p 1920-1933 was the period of prohibition in the USA so I guess the cocktail party drink would be Coke! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKNYC Posted August 3, 2009 #8 Share Posted August 3, 2009 So this still leaves most of the 1930's in which cocktails were legal in the US. The Museum of the American Cocktail is in New Orleans. The Vodka Museum is in Amsterdam. I'll have a Martini with a twist please.:D Denise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

U12RD04 Posted August 4, 2009 #10 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Why, "Pink Gin" of course, Plymouth Gin with a spot of Angostura bitters, add water if you must. Cheers! Made in the United Kingdom in the 19th century, a Pink Gin contains gentian and a dash of 'pink'. 'Pink' referring to the Angostura bitters, a dark red extract of gentian and spices. This is typically an English way of drinking and enjoying gin. Also called Gin and Bitters, the Pink Gin cocktail was created by the Royal Navy. They created the drink in order to make Angostura bitters more enjoyable. The Royal Navy used the bitters to treat medical conditions in sailors; furthermore, it was also used to treat seasickness. The Recipe This recipe serves 1 1 measure gin 2-3 dashes Angostura bitters Coat the sides of a chilled martini glass with the Angostura bitters, add chilled gin and serve.
