Abbey

A classic Lillet cocktail, and the very first recipe in the Savoy Cocktail Book.

1 1/2 oz Gin
3/4 oz Lillet
3/4 oz Orange juice (Fresh, please)
2 dashes Angostura

Combine ingredients in an ice-filled glass and shake for 10-15 seconds. Strain into a cocktail glass.

Enjoy.

Blood and Sand

A proper Blood and Sand is the mark of a truly great bartender. The only problem is that if you misidentify said bartender, you will be left with a disappointing drink indeed. Certainly the combination here is very strange, but somehow it all comes together. Even if it looks too strange to try, this is arguably the definitive scotch cocktail, and every fan of the stick should try it at least once.

Only fresh-squeezed orange juice, please.

1 oz Blended Scotch
1 oz Orange Juice
3/4 oz Sweet Vermouth
3/4 oz Cherry Heering

Combine in an ice-filled glass and shake for 10-15 seconds. Strain into a cocktail glass and garnish with an orange peel, preferably flamed.

Enjoy.
