I had never heard of the Correct Cocktail until Ana sent me a hand-typed recipe and a picture of one in my Christmas card. It has been so cold here so I figured it would be a perfect time to cozy up with a gingery cocktail. I have to say, as a fairly new convert to ginger (this cocktail was the turning point for me), the Correct Cocktail might be a new winter favorite.
The Correct Cocktail
1.5 oz gin
0.5 oz ginger liqueur (Ana recommended Stirrings…it’s delicious)
0.5 oz triple sec
0.5 oz freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 dashes orange bitters
Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Strain into cocktail glass and garnish with a lemon twist. Enjoy on a cold, snowy night while watching Metallica play the Grammys.
LOL. So glad it was a cocktail you liked. It came from Mr. Boston’s (the infamous burgundy and black cocktail book).
Sounds pretty daug gone good! Really the way you said it was what really made it…. claudy
