1931 Daniel de Rouge Cocktail Recipe - Cocktails After Dark - Glen And Friends Cooking

Описание: 1931 Daniel de Rouge Cocktail Recipe - Cocktails After Dark - Glen And Friends Cooking
This Prohibition Era Cocktail comes from the Old Waldorf Bar Days cocktail book by Albert Stevens Crockett. The Daniel de Rouge Cocktail Recipe is one of those Prohibition cocktails that is hard to reproduce because one of the ingredients (common in the 1930s) has fallen out of favour and in fact wasn't made at all for 75 years or so - Calisaya is that ingredient. So what is Calisaya Liqueur; it is a number of botanicals and citrus steeped in a neutral grain spirit and then sweetened. The main flavour components are bitter orange and cinchona bark; giving it a very bitter taste. In fact the farther back you go in the cocktail books that we own - Calisaya is used in cocktails as we would use orange bitters today; just a few dashes.
However this one calls for 'Red Calisaya' - something that I couldn't find at all - so I subbed in this orange coloured one. Is it right? Does it taste similar? Who knows... Then we thought; "What would this taste like if we made it with Byrrh QuinQuina, a wine based aperitif that shares the same major flavouring component?"

So if you are just starting out on your road to being an educated barfly, getting behind the bar for the first time, and learning how to drink, follow along with cocktails after dark. Cocktails After Dark, where we look at historic old cocktail books every week.
