The Stork Club Cocktail


It has been awhile since posting about a cocktail and all within good reason. It is nice to leisurely sip on one as opposed to downing one. I have shared plenty of cocktails and I am unsure if these will return into what did become a regular Friday spot.  

This classic cocktail is named after New York City's famed, Stork Club, which was in existence from 1929 until 1965 and apparently it was the place to be! This cool citrus cocktail is uplifting.  

The Stork Club Cocktail
-----------------------------------------------------------
 makes 1 cocktail

1 1/2 oz gin
3/4 oz Cointreau
1 oz freshly squeezed orange juice
1/2 oz freshly squeezed lime juice
dash of Angostura bitters
orange peel for garnish, if you wish

Combine the gin, Cointreau, orange juice and lime juice, and bitters in a cocktail shaker with ice and shake well. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass and garnish with orange peel. 


Have a good weekend and stay safe everyone! - JD
