The Great Gatsby Cocktail: The Silver Bronx
We can’t wait to go and see The Great Gatsby but if you want to celebrate further then why not hold a Gatsby themed party?
This Silver Bronx cocktail will fit into the lavish surroundings perfectly and tastes amazing too!
Andy Evans, drinks specialist at John Lewis, Oxford St said, “Although they originally emerged in the nineteenth-century, cocktails were popularised during the prohibition era as a means of disguising the unpalatable taste of illegal (or ‘bootleg’) alcohol. One popular cocktail of the ‘Gatsby’ era was the Silver Bronx.”
Here’s what you’ll need to make your very own!
The Silver Bronx
Ingredients:
Dry Vermouth
Sweet (red) Vermouth
Dry Gin
Smooth orange juice
1 egg
Plenty of ice
Method:
Start off by rinsing the ice with a capful of sweet vermouth and a capful of dry vermouth. Shake, then dispose of the vermouth (it’s only there to flavour the ice!).
Then add 50 ml dry gin, 50 ml orange juice and the white of the egg to the ice and shake well. The egg white gives a pleasing texture to the drink and an attractive foam.
Strain into a martini glass (ideally chilled), garnished with a maraschino cherry.
