How to recreate a lost recipe from 1930s London
In short: Explore the mystery of the Bennett cocktail, a drink with no official instructions. This video demonstrates how to interpret a recipe from a vintage era of cocktail history.
The video features a recreation of the Bennett cocktail, sourced from a 1930 edition of 'Cocktails by Jimmy Late of Ciro's London'. Because the original text provides only two dashes of Angostura bitters without any specific preparation or serving instructions, the presenter must decide on a method. The demonstration follows a process of shaking the ingredients and straining the result into a Nick and Nora glass.
