Jasmine
The JASMINE comes from the family of Campari cocktails, though it has less of the Italian red bitter flavor as a Negroni. Gin and lemon juice dominate the mix, while orange liqueur and Campari assume supporting roles and round out...
Loud Speaker
The LOUD SPEAKER is another of the Harry Craddock cocktails published in his 1930 The Savoy Cocktail Book. The original version makes for an easier serve by the bartender, with equal parts gin & brandy, and equal but lesser parts...
Webster
From Harry Craddock and the Savoy Cocktail Book of 1930 comes the gin-based WEBSTER. It’s balanced, dry, slightly tart from the lime juice and has apricot tones from apricot brandy. Depending on personal preference and the apricot brandy used, it...

Casino
The CASINO is a classy gin-based cocktail adding touches of Maraschino liqueur, lemon juice and orange bitters. It’s one of the few gin cocktails that recommends a sweeter gin like Old Tom versus a London dry gin. Requirements: gin (Old...
Frenchie
The FRENCHIE is a wonderful three-ingredient cocktail for fans of grapefruit juice. A classic London dry gin is a good match with the grapefruit juice and elderflower liqueur. It’s an easy party cocktail to prepare, or probably even better for...
