Bronx cocktail

by · Published · Updated

The BRONX COCKTAIL was invented by a Waldorf Astoria barman after visiting and being inspired by the opening of the Bronx Zoo in 1899, giving the Bronx its own cocktail. It’s a classic gin martini enhanced with a trio of ingredients for a fruitier character:

Requirements: dry gin ( Beefeater or Rutte preferred), sweet vermouth (Cinzano or Martini Rosso preferred), extra dry vermouth (Noilly Prat preferred), fresh orange juice, orange bitters (Regan’s No. 6 preferred)

  • 1.5 oz. dry gin
  • .5 oz. sweet vermouth
  • .5 oz. extra dry vermouth
  • 1 oz. fresh orange juice
  • 1 dash orange bitters

Combine all ingredients in an ice-filled shaker and shake vigorously. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with an orange peel.

History: The Bronx cocktail did not appear in a recipe book until 1908, when a San Francisco writer and barman named William Boothby enjoyed it as prepared by a Pittsburgh barman named Billy Malloy. Mr. Boothby published the Malloy recipe, which has since become the most widely recognized and accepted mix of the Bronx.
