(page 76 of Mr Boston Official Bartender's Guide)
1 1/2 Oz. Brandy (E&J XO)
1/2 Tsp Pineapple Juice
1/2 Tsp. Triple Sec (LeRoux)
1 Tsp. Rum (Myers's Dark)
1 dash Bitters
Shake with ice and strain into cocktail glass. Add a twist of lemon peel and a cherry.
As you can see from the photo, I forgot the garnish!
The East India Cocktail No. 1 was a somewhat bland drink but drinkable. There was a "tingle" on the tongue, probably from the Bitters or rum, which made it somewhat pleasant, texturally. There are so many cocktails to choose from which are a lot tastier than this one, though, that I doubt I will repeat it.
Happy mixing!
