#299 Cocktail: Tbilisi Royale

     Really elegant cocktail and very easy to make. You don't need any special bartender tools, just build it in the glass
     The drink is adapted from a recipe from the FireBired Russian Restaurant in New York. Who created the cocktail and when, that will remain a mistery.....at least for me

1/4 ounce Stolichnaya Limonnaya

1/2 ounce peach schnapps

chilled champagne

#298 Cocktail: Twentieth-Century

      Detailed in Tarling's "Cafe Royal Cocktail Book" (1937), the drink was created by a certain C.A. Tuck.
     The cocktail was brought to Gaz's attention by Dr. Cocktail a few years ago and it has been in his arsenal ever since
    We will never know if C.A.Tuck envisage the flavors before he put them together in a drink, but nobody can argue that this drink is a masterpiece

1 1/2 ounce gin

1/2 ounce Lillet Blonde

1/2 ounce white creme de cacao

1/2 ounce fresh lemon juice
