#246 Cocktail: Riveredge

   Gaz Regan came across this drink in "Crosby Gaige's Cocktail Guide and Ladies' Companion" 1945 and he was immediately intrigued when finding that the recipe for this cocktail was donated to Gaige by none other than James Beard, the dean of American Cookery.
    The recipe was changed a little by Gaz, due to the fact that the original recipe was asking for strips of rind from a fine ripe orange and that would have been just too bitter

1 1/2 ounce gin

1/2 ounce dry vermouth

1/2 ounce fresh orange juice

grated orange zest

1 dash orange bitters
