#153 Cocktail: Hawaiian

    When you hear the name "Hawaiian" for a drink , and especially for a cocktail, you immediately think of a tropical cocktail, with a small umbrella and a combination of vivid colors. Well, this time.....wrong. This cocktail appeared in 1935 and first time appeared in the "Old Mr. Boston" barguide.
    Old Mr. Boston was a distillery located at 1010 Massachusetts Avenue in Boston, Massachusetts from 1933 to 1986. It produced its own label of gin, bourbon, rum, and brandies, as well as a few cordials and liqueurs.
    The "Mr. Boston" name is known not only for its brands of distilled spirits, but also for its unique reference book, (Old) Mr. Boston Official Bartender's Guide, used by both professional and home bartenders as the "Bible of Booze." The Guide was first published 1935, according to the first date published in the Guide's publisher information page, the early days after the Repeal of Prohibition, when the distillery started up business again.
     In the original recipe, the two dashes of Angostura were missing and they were added by Gaz Regan so the drink will receive a more complexity. Enjoy!!!

2 onces Gin

1/2 ounce Cointreau
