Booze Clues: Twists on Classic Cocktails

Our first round of Booze Clues on our own! Two of our own have come up with the theme for this month and, as the drinks are all twists on classics, there will be no tastings this time.

French 75 (twist on a mimosa)
2 ounces gin -- London dry gin
1 teaspoon superfine sugar
1/2 ounce lemon juice
5 ounces Brut champagne

Bijou (twist on a whiskey sour)
1 ounce London dry gin
1 ounce sweet vermouth
1 ounce green Chartreuse
1 dash orange bitters

And since we didn't try whiskey sours back in lecture 3...

Whiskey Sour
2 ounces of bourbon
¾ ounce freshly squeezed lemon juice
¾ oz simple syrup
1 or 2 teaspoons of egg white (optional)
lemon wedge and maraschino cherry garnish

We're taking February off, due to the Super Bowl, but we'll be back hitting it hard in March.
