Bronx Terrace Cocktail

Tonight we had dinner with friends at the Palmetto Restaurant at Copper Mill.  Our cocktail was a 'Bronx Terrace Cocktail' (page 52 of the bartender's guide) mixed by the bartender at the restaurant.

 The recipe:

1 1/2 oz Gin
1 1/2 oz Dry Vermouth
Juice of 1/2 lime

Shake with ice and strain into cocktail glass.
Add a cherry.

 Unfortunately, lime was the dominant taste, as too often seems the case. I think fractional lime or lemon measures are too inexact to use and expect consistent results. I will test-taste and try to quantify the measures we use in the future! Otherwise the drink was not remarkable, probably not to be repeated.


Salud!
