Vintage Cocktail Friday is back!
After a very long hiatus, I am happy to say that Tom and I are both drinking cocktails again. Whew. It was kind of dicey there for a bit.
We are also back with some great new vintage cocktail pamphlets and books. This particular one was sent to us by a very generous reader, and I love it!

“How is it?”
“It’s different. But I don’t hate it.”
“So, how does it feel to be back in the saddle?”
“Better than not drinking.”
The Verdict: Different But Good
From The Tasting Notes –
This was a pretty middling cocktail. I wouldn’t go out of my way to make it again, but if it was served to me I wouldn’t refuse it. Very aromatic with an herbal flavor. Good balance between alcohol, sweetness and bitter. There is a very subtle taste of apple at the end. This would be good as an aperitif!
love your tree/decorations!
Somehow Christmas and Darkwing Duck fit together better than I would have imagined.
Gin and It, with an addition. Apparently those have varied over time from 4 parts sweet vermouth to 1 of gin, to equal parts (the Fifty-Fifty), to 1 part It to 4 of gin, with or without bitters. I don’t think I’ve tried any of them. I wonder where the name Busch came from.
