GREEN HAT FAVORITES

Hoagy Carmichael (The Vesper) Gin, Vodka, Lillet Blanc, Lemon Twist
$
Hoagy Carmichael was actually Ian Fleming’s model for James Bond so with that in mind shaken not stirred is the theme of this cocktail. The Martini referred to was actually a vodka Martini. Bond’s concerns about dryness helped feed a similarly growing fascination with increasingly dry Martinis that extends to this day. He does, however, give the exact specifications for a drink now known as the Vesper in the book Casino Royale. Three measures of Gordon’s, one of vodka, half a measure of Lillet Blanc. Shake it very well until it’s ice-cold, then add a large thin slice of lemon peel.”
Cole Porter Cocktail Journeyman Rye, Sherry, Lemon Juice, Sugar
$
The Waldorf Astoria Bar Book recently lists this nice little variation on a whiskey sour. The sherry brings a bit of funk. The drink is named after one of the hotel’s most famous residents, the jazz age Broadway composer, Cole Porter. The piano on which Cole Porter composed many of Broadway’s most clever songs remains in the Waldorf-Astoria to this day.

$
The Corpse Reviver family of cocktails are intended as ‘hair of the dog' hangover, cures, hence the name. Most of the corpse reviver cocktails have been lost to time, but the cognac- Corpse Reviver was first listed in the Savoy Cocktail handbook by Harry Craddock in 1930, have survived to this day.
French 75 Bombay Sapphire Gin, Lemon Juice, Simple Syrup, Prosecco
$
The drink dates to World War I, and an early form was created in 1915 at the New York Bar in Paris—later Harry's New York Bar—by barman Harry MacElhone. The combination was said to have such a kick that it felt like being shelled with the powerful French 75mm field gun.

Side Car Caymus Cognac, Cointreau, Lemon Juice, Orange Twist
$
The Sidecar is a direct descendant of the Brandy Crusta, a long-forgotten New Orleans drink that has enjoyed something of a comeback in the last couple of years. How it got its name is a source of debate: Both a French and English bar claim to have invented the combination of cognac, Cointreau and lemon juice for a customer who arrived at the location in the sidecar of a motorcycle.
The Sazerac Last Feather Rye, Sugar Cube, Water, Cognac, Petchaud Bitters, Absinthe
$
The Sazerac is a local New Orleans variation of a cognac or whiskey cocktail, named for the Sazerac de Forge et Fils brand of cognac brandy that served as its original main ingredient. [1] The drink is most traditionally a combination rye whiskey, absinthe, Peychaud's Bitters, and sugar, Some claim it is the oldest known American cocktail, [3] with origins in pre-Civil War New Orleans, although drink historian David Wondrich is among those who dispute this, [4] and American instances of published usage of the word cocktail to describe a mixture of spirits, bitters, and sugar can be traced to the dawn of the 19th century.
