#159 Cocktail: Income Tax

   The cocktail is almost identical to another drink called "Bronx". Just by adding the Angostura bitters to the recipe, the "Bronx" was transformed into "Income Tax".
    The origin of the cocktail is unknown. Some people say that first appeared in the "Savoy Cocktail Book", others say that was first published in "Mr. Boston". Also the name history is also unknown. But when you think that the Angostura is bitter and also the taxes are bitter, then we might come to a conclusion about the name.
     1 1/2 ounce Gin
1/4 ounce Dry Vermouth
1/4 ounce Sweet Vermouth
1 ounce fresh orange juice
Angostura bitters to taste
