#83 Cocktail: Chatham

    The cocktail was unknown to Gaz Regan until Ted Haigh (Dr. Cocktail) pointed it out. The drink is interesting using the ginger liqueur in combination with the gin. As Gaz Regan says, it is nice to experiment with other liqueurs and using the same formula.

    The recipe is adapted from the book "Jone's Complete Barguide", a book printed in 1977 with a lot of new and interesting recipes.
    “The recipes are presented in a rather sparse and jumbled fashion, with little in the way of details that might explain the tips and tricks as to how to make them properly. The well trained mixologist however will be able to ferret out the good from the bad, and be able to come away with a new collection of recipes that they can add to their repertoire.” Robert Hess
   If you are wondering what the yellow pieces used for garnish are, they are ginger candies. :)
