It founded as one of the most exclusive high society social clubs in the United Kingdom, sharing some of the functions of a gentleman's club such as high-level socialising. It was called 'The Jockey Club' in reference to the late medieval word for 'horsemen', prounced 'yachey' and spelt 'Eachaidhe' in Gaelic.
The original 1930 recipe for this cocktail called for creme de noyau, but Gaz Regan replaced that with the amaretto and also dropped the orange bitters, leaving only the Angostura one, so in conclusion, this is a new recipe for the Jockey Club, therefore is called "No.2"
2 ounces Gin
3/4 ounce Amaretto
3/4 ounce fresh lemon juice
Angostura bitters to taste
