How a mid-century recipe from Paris defines the Gloom Raiser
In short: Discover the mid-1950s Gloom Raiser, a cocktail sourced from a classic Parisian guide. This video explores the specific proportions of gin, vermouth, and absinthe that defined this era of mixology.
The recipe originates from a mid-1950s edition of the 'ABC of Mixing Cocktails,' authored by the renowned bartender Harry of Harry's New York Bar in Paris. This specific variation was provided by a bartender named Robert from the Embassy.
The drink relies on a precise balance of ingredients: two dashes each of absinthe and grenadine, two-thirds gin, and one-third Cusenier French Vermouth, finished with a lemon peel.
