History: circa 1860s in Italy, previously known as the “Milano-Torino” (Campari from Milan, Cinzano vermouth from Turin), later renamed because of it’s latter day popularity with American tourists Strain into chilled old fashioned glass with 1-2 pieces of fresh ice Stir vermouth and Campari with ice to chill Sources: Jeffrey Morgenthaler, Steve the Bartender Amaretto Sour Rating: 4.5, sweet, sour, nutty, and boozy, a house favorite The contemporary revival of this cocktail is much more balanced and delicious with the addition of bourbon, egg white, and bitters History: circa 1970s, the original version had a well-deserved reputation for being cloyingly sweet. Vigorously dry shake all ingredients to fully emulsify egg white (use a single piece of ice to facilitate this)ĭouble strain into chilled old fashioned glass Source: The Joy of Mixology (Gary Regan, 2003, p. Rating: 1.5, a variation on the dry martini, but not a very successful attempt The recipe celebrates the alliance between Britain (gin), France (dry vermouth) and Russia (kümmel), although we used kümmel from the Netherlands, probably the origin of this caraway flavored liquor History: appears in The Savoy Cocktail Book by Harry Craddock (1930).

The version we prefer here at Three Cup is more like a daiquiri with an orange twist. This cocktail is more traditionally made with egg white (for example, see this recipe from Complete Cocktails).

Rating: 4, not strictly speaking a cocktail, but a ritual enjoyed by many notable artists among others. When in Amsterdam, stop by Quinta-Wijnen, where you can get a real education about the history and properties of absinthe Although concentrations of thujone actually present in absinthe are too low to have such an effect, absinthe does typically have a high alcohol content. Absinthe has been much maligned as an hallucinogen due to the presence of the chemical compound thujone extracted from wormwood. Bans on absinthe, instituted in the early 20th century, have now been largely removed.
History: The method of preparation described here was popular in France in the 19th century. Slowly drip very cold water over sugar cube until sugar dissolves and absinthe becomes opaque and opalescent (louche) Place sugar cube on perforated spoon placed on top of glass
