Casino Cocktail

The Casino cocktail, a classic dating back to the 1930s, falls under the Daisies category, known for their boozy, savory/sour profile. The original recipe calls for Old Tom Gin, but London Dry works well. To make it, mix gin, lemon juice, maraschino liqueur, and orange bitters, then strain and garnish with a Luxardo cherry.

Classic Martini Cocktail

The classic martini cocktail is a departure from extravagant concoctions, embracing simplicity and tradition. With gin (or vodka), dry vermouth, and a dash of orange bitters, it offers a refreshing twist. Shaken and served with a lemon twist, this timeless drink is a must-try for those seeking a clean, classic martini experience.

Black Manhattan Cocktail

OneFoodie has been experimenting with various cocktail recipes, particularly focusing on Manhattan cocktails. After several attempts with different mixtures, the author found the Perfect Manhattan too sweet and the Dry Manhattan not sweet enough. An accidental creation of the Brooklyn cocktail by adding cherry liqueur was enjoyable but the Black Manhattan cocktail, with its use of Amaro, a sweet but not too sweet substitute for vermouth, was identified as the perfect drink suiting the author’s preference.

The Fourth Regiment Cocktail. I’ve been drifting for years towards more boozy, savory drinks and this one fits the bill just fine.
