History

A Million Dollar Cocktail, but with orange juice replacing pineapple juice. Fresher and more cleansing, fitting the aperitivo moment as much as a late-night tipple.

Hugo R. Ensslin’s 1917 Recipes for Mixed Drinks (2nd Edition) provides the basis for this drink, which may also have appeared in the 1916 first edition. TWIN SIX COCKTAIL. 1 jigger El Bart Gin ½ jigger Italian Vermouth 1 dash Grenadine 3 slices Orange White of 1 Egg Shake well in a mixing glass with cracked ice, strain and serve in a wine glass. Ensslin’s instructions call for shaking the ingredients in a mixing glass with cracked ice before straining into a wine glass.
