Bennett Cocktail

Today I selected a 'Bennett Cocktail'. It was a very good drink (as most of them seem to be these days!). It was definitely worth repeating. I can say that very positively since I went ahead and mixed another right after I finished the first one. I must admit, though, that Olga wasn't quite as enamored as I, but she did think it was OK.

The recipe (page 38 of the Bartender's Guide):

Juice of 1/2 lime (I used 1/2 oz)
1 1/2 oz Gin (Seagram's Extra Dry)
1/2 teaspoon powdered sugar (1 tsp simple sugar)
2 dashes Orange Bitters


Shake with ice and strain into cocktail glass. I garnished with an orange slice.

Cheers!
