Trilby Cocktail


Today was a fairly comfortable day, temperatures in the 40's last night to the 70's this afternoon. We sure enjoy wearing shorts and golf shirts although it was cool in the AM.

The drink I selected today was a 'Trilby Cocktail', pretty much like a Manhattan with Orange Bitters. It was actually an excellent drink. I like Manhattans so my enjoyment of this drink was no surprise.

The recipe (page no. 174 from our Bartender's Guide):

1 1/2 oz. Kentucky Bourbon (Jim Beam White Label)
3/4 oz. Sweet Vermouth (Noilly Prat)
2 dashes Orange Bitters (Fee Bros.)

Stir with ice and strain into cocktail glass. I chose to garnish with a cherry and orange slice.
