#251 Cocktail: Remember the Maine

    A classic cocktail adapted from a recipe but Charles H Baker Jr., which insisted that, when making the drink, you should only stir clockwise.
    Charles H Baker Jr, an American journalist who counted Ernest Hemingway and Errol Flynn among his many friends, wrote for magazines such as Gourmet, Esquire and Town and Country, and was described by Margaria Fichtner, a columnist for the Miami Herald, as having an ‘unquenchable enthusiasm for what he called “the gentle art of imbibation”’.
    Baker writes in his 1939 book, The Gentleman's Companion: An Exotic Drinking Book.

2 ounces bourbon

3/4 ounce sweet vermouth

1/4 ounce cherry liqueur

absinthe to taste

Angostura bitters to taste

#250 Cocktail: Russian Walnut Martini

  The cocktail is adapted from the 2087: An American Bistro, Thousands Oaks, California. That is all I know about the origin of this drink
   Really tasty one, but again, also tricky, because you never know when you will get all tipsy :)

2 ounces Stolichnaya vodka

1 ounce Nocello walnut liqueur

1/2 ounce dark creme de cacao

#249 Cocktail: Rye and Ginger

     As simple as the title says. Just combine some rye whiskey with ginger ale and......tadaaa.....you have your cocktail. Of course, you have to follow the measurements.
     With these simple combinations, it is hard to find out who created the cocktail first and when, so I couldn't track down the exact inventor or the year and for the name, well, not much to say
      As a bartender, be careful, most customers expect this cocktail to be made with Canadian Club bourbon, so it is better to ask them first

2 ounces rye whiskey

3 ounces ginger ale

#248 Cocktail: The Salty Chihuahua

     No idea how this cocktail was invented. All I know is that the drink is a twist of the, well-known Salty Dog. The name, was probably inspired from the usage of the tequila as the base alcohol instead of the Gin or the vodka.
     Honestly, I prefer the other two variants (the gin or the vodka ), for I'm not a big fan of tequila, but if you are, this drink could be a very refreshing summer cocktail

2 ounces Tequila

6 ounces fresh grapefruit juice

#247 Cocktail: Rosebud

  The cocktail was adaprted from a recipe contributed to webtender.com by Michael Henderson in 1997. The original recipe is different but Gaz played a little with the drink because the ingredients looked like they will work well together
   The cocktail is kinnda strong and the vodka has a really strong taste for my liking. Since I am not a big fan of vodka (I like vodka cocktails, but only when I can't feel the taste) this one is not one of my favorites. But it might be one of yours!

1 1/2 ounce citrus vodka

1 ounce triple sec

1/2 ounce fresh pink grapefruit juice

1/4 ounce fresh lime juice
