You can make these cocktails. Start right now.
Brandy, curacao, lemon, and bitters: the Brandy Crusta is the prototype of the modern sour, and a forerunner of the Sidecar. More historic marker than living cocktail, it's a drink that's important to know if you take your cocktails seriously. And it tastes good. Why did it disappear?
The Alabazam Cocktail: brandy, curacao, lemon, and sugar. And bitters, lots of bitters.
The Oriental Cocktail: rye whiskey, sweet vermouth, orange curaçao, and fresh lime juice.
The Bourbon Derby: Manhattan-style, with bourbon, Bénédictine, and bitters, or New Orleans sour-style, with bourbon, sweet vermouth, curaçao and lime juice.
