The mysterious recipe behind a 1930 Canadian whisky and maple cocktail
In short: Step into the Prohibition era to recreate the New Brunswick, a cocktail from the enigmatic 1930 book 'Cocktails By Jimmy'. Learn how to interpret a recipe that leaves the technique entirely up to the drinker.
The video explores the New Brunswick cocktail, sourced from the Canadian publication 'Cocktails By Jimmy'. The identity of the book's author, Jimmy, remains a mystery, though some suggest he may be Jimmy Charters, a bartender known for working in Deauville and Monte Carlo. Unlike modern recipes, this 1930 text provides no instructions on whether to shake or stir, nor how to use ice, leaving the final preparation to the judgment of the mixologist.
