Racquet Club

May 22, 2013 (Day 13) – Racquet Club

There’s an honesty in classic cocktails. And when I say there’s an honesty, I mean there usually isn’t much complexity in the ingredient list.

That, and they really, really freakin’ liked their gin and bitters.

Take, for instance, the Racquet Club.

Ba-dum, bum. Tsss

Racquet Club

• 2 oz Plymoth Gin
• 1 oz dry vermouth
• 1 dash orange bitters

Combine the ingredients in a cocktail shaker filled with chipped and stir well – at least 30 seconds – until a frost forms on the outside of the mixer. Strain into a chilled martini glass and serve.

Ba-dum-bum. Tsss

Okay, seriously, this is what it looks like.
