Revision cocktail — Revision Cocktail by Joy Richard

It is with some gravity that I must tell you, I could not source a cocktail I was satisfied with related to the fundamental force of attraction between all mass. I have previously dabbled in physics, visiting with Sir Isaac Newton now and again, whose genius is all relative compared with Einstein. But those drinks have been drunk. If we make them again, we’ll need to revise them. That seems to be the theme here anyhow.

The cocktail I chose for this toast is reminiscent of the classic Bamboo, which is sherry and vermouth, but with a heavy dose of orange and citrus flavor thanks to the triple sec and grapefruit bitters. It was created by Joy Richards, bar manager at Citizen’s Public House in Boston. I discovered it on Boston legend Fred Yarm’s website, a great place to find almost any classic stirred cocktail. Many inspiring drinks on these pages appeared there first. As the name might suggest, the drink came about over time and many revisions. The final version is a lovely low abv aperitif or late nightcap. Here’s to revisions, may there ever approach perfection. Cheers!
