Hop Toad

Tonight seemed a good time for a 'Hop Toad Cocktail' (page No. 98 in the Bartender's Guide).


Wonder where that name came from?

We are using Mr. Boston Official Bartender's Guide, 50th anniversary edition-1985, for our recipes. We are proceeding in no particular order, although we have tried mostly gin-based drinks until now.


It's the first rum based cocktail I've fixed. It was good, a nice departure from the gin drinks we've had.

Recipe:

Juice of 1/2 lime
3/4 oz Apricot Brandy (Leroux)
3/4 oz Rum (Bacardi light)

Stir with ice and strain into cocktail glass.

Cheers
'Til tomorrow!
