Bartender Jon Connor
Bartender Jon Connor notes that the martini, in all its variations, is still the most popular cocktail at The Dry Dock. However, there has been a renaissance of the “classic cocktail”. Here’s one for your consideration:
“The Suburban”
1.5 ounces rye whisky
½ ounce dark rum
½ ounce port
1 dash orange bitters
1 dash Angostura bitters
Stir well with cracked ice, and then strain into a chilled cocktail glass
The Suburban, which dates from the the rococo age of American drinking (1875-1920), is a most atypical concoction. I mean, rye, dark rum and port?? Really??
Yet somehow it works! With less of a bite than The Manhattan, the blending of The Suburban's ingredients creates a smooth taste ~ the rum mellows the tang of the rye, the port tames the raw edge of the distillates, and the bitters add a touch of the exotic.
A nice fall/winter cocktail ...
come by and let Jon make one for you!
