page 44: Re: Ampersand Cocktail
As promised on page 26, we give below ingredients and directions for making the Ampersand Cocktail, formerly a favorite in the barroom of the old Waldorf-Astoria Hotel at Fifth Avenue and 34th Street....

The ingredients are:
Two dashes orange bitters
One-third brandy
One-third Tom gin
One-third Italian vermouth
Two dashes of Curacao on top

Directions: Put the ingredients into a shaker in the order named, then add cracked ice—shake vigorously and strain into the cocktail glass and serve promptly. The more you shake it, the weaker it gets.

Special Editorial P.S. The one we got at the Ampersandinner must have been shaken early. It was potent!
