History

Old Tom's botanical notes meet herbal vermouth, citrus, and sweet maraschino. It recalls a Last Word sans Chartreuse.

The following recipe has been adapted from Jacques Straub's 1913 volume, Straub's Manual Of Mixed Drinks. For the EMERSON COCKTAIL, the instructions are: EMERSON COCKTAIL ½ Lime Juice. 3 Dashes Maraschino. ⅓ Jigger Italian Vermouth. ½ Jigger Old Tom Gin. Shake.
