The Bronx cocktail recipe
It is not as famous as the Manhattan, but it is still worth trying. The Bronx is a fruitier, lighter alternative to the rough-and-tumbler whiskey-based cocktail. However, if you try it once you may want to try it again.
Two kinds of vermouth are used in this classic cocktail, sweet (red) vermouth and dry (French) vermouth, along with some orange juice, to back up the gin. You can swap out a little lemon juice for some of the orange juice is you want to give it a little more tang.
Ingredients:
2 ounces gin
3/4 ounce sweet vermouth
3/4 ounce dry vermouth
1 ounce freshly squeezed orange juice, or 3/4 ounce orange juice and 1/4 ounce lemon juice
dash orange bitters
Procedure –
- Add the gin, sweet and dry vermouth, orange juice (or orange and lemon juice), and orange bitters, to a cocktail shaker. Fill the shakers two-thirds full with ice, cover and shake vigorously until well-chilled, about 15 seconds.
- Strain the mixture into a chilled coupe glass
