Oriental Cocktail

A tart cocktail. I used the amount of lime juice specified but should have used about half as much, at most. I must change my routine to one where I taste fruit additives like this to make sure I don't add too much.

This 'Oriental Cocktail' is found on page no. 132 in the Bartender's Guide. Despite being tart, the drink was pretty good. I would try it again with less lime. The whiskey taste came through, which I liked.





The recipe:

1 oz Whiskey (Old Forester Bourbon)
1/2 oz Sweet Vermouth (Dolin)
1/2 oz Triple Sec (LeRoux)
Juice of 1/2 lime

Shake with ice and strain into cocktail glass.

Cheers!
