Dec. 20, 1934: In case you doubted me (but you wouldn’t, would you?), here’s a recipe for the Bronx Cocktail, from the Amsterdam Evening Recorder, courtesy of FultonHistory.com.
In case you plan to mix one up, a Bronx Cocktail is one part Italian vermouth, three parts brandy and a dash of orange bitters. Shake well!
Notice that there are also three variations of the Manhattan.

1. In SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL GUNFIGHTER 1971, elderly shopkeeper Grady Sutton orders a Pink Lady in an Old West saloon. Instantly shows he’s a milquetoast, and entirely unfit for trigger happy Suzanne Pleshette
2. these cocktails are all very similar. Just cut to the chase and order a Negroni!

I miss the little factoids that used to be in the paper – in this instance the Soviet Union smelting blurb at the bottom right hand side.
