Silver King Cocktail

Silver King Cocktail

From page 160 of Mr. Boston Official Bartender's Guide.

1 Egg White
Juice of 1/4 lemon
1 1/2 Oz. Gin (Seagram's)
1/2 Tsp. Powdered Sugar
2 Dashes Orange Bitters

Shake with ice and strain into cocktail glass.

Not one of our favorite cocktails. It presented an un-memorable drinking experience, very little taste other than "tart".

Rye Whiskey Cocktail

Today was another lovely day here in Zachary with cocktails again enjoyed on our patio while awaiting the arrival of a visiting niece on her way to visit parents in Georgia.

The cocktail of the day was a 'Rye Whiskey Cocktail', on page no. 152 of Mr. Boston Official Bartender's Guide, publ. 1985. Olga and I both enjoyed the drink very much (as seems the usual case). It definitely is a cocktail designed to be gently sipped, rather than gulped!




The recipe:

1 Dash Bitters (Angostura)
1 tsp Powdered Sugar
2 oz Rye Whiskey (Old Overholt)

Shake with ice and strain into cocktail glass. Serve with a cherry. I also garnished with an orange slice.
