"Atta Boy" Cocktail

Bar glass—ice 1 oz. Brandy Va oz. Absinthe V20Z. Italian Vermouth Stir, strain and serve in cocktail glasses. No decoration.

Observations

Here is one that needs not be ashamed of itself. It unquestionably has power, but also a bouquet rivaling that of rare old wine. A real drink for the connoisseur. Brandy is distilled from grapes or old wine. The best known Brandy comes from Cognac, France, and is sold under that name. Cognac (84 proof) is superior in quality to any other known Brandy, enjoying in the field of liquor the same place as champagne among wines. Italian Vermouth is a sweet wine of a com mon variety, and widely used in the making of cocktails.
