History

Bone dry and aromatic with green grape, citrus, and mineral notes. Garnishing with an olive suits this drink. A riff on a Dry Martini, it uses sherry instead of vermouth.

This cocktail is derived from recipes found in Straub's Manual of Mixed Drinks (1913), Jack's Manual 4th Edition (1916), and Old Waldorf Astoria Bar Days (1931) by Albert Stevens Crockett. The proportions are listed as: 1 Dash Maraschino, 3 Dashes Angostura Bitters, 1 Dash Absinthe, ⅔ Jigger Dry Gin, ⅓ Jigger French Vermouth, and 1 Barspoon of Sherry Wine, to be stirred well.
