The Murphy Cocktail: A Historical Recipe
In honor of Joughin, mixologist enthusiasts can try the Murphy cocktail. This specific drink is detailed in 'Jack's Manual' from 1910 and includes:
40% Italian Vermouth
40% Rye Whiskey
20% Sloe Gin
Half a glass of cracked ice
Each ingredient invokes flavors that would have been familiar in 1912. The process is simple: combine the ingredients in a shaker with ice, shake well, and serve in a rocks glass filled with cracked ice.
