Bronxathon: Bronx Bomber

With this one, the Bronx sort of turns into a sour with the addition of a little lemon and simple syrup. This is mild, citrus-y and easy to drink, though it’s as if the Bronx Cocktail were so problematic to balance that the mixologist turned it into something else. (By now, I can understand the impulse to do that.)



Bronx Bomber
  • 1 1/2 oz Plymouth gin
  • 1/4 oz Italian sweet vermouth (Punt e Mes)
  • 1/4 oz French dry vermouth (Dolin Dry)
  • 1/2 oz fresh orange juice
  • 1/4 oz fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 oz simple syrup
  • orange twist for garnish
Shake in an ice-filled cocktail shaker and strain into a chilled cocktail glass.

This comes from the bar book of Absinthe Brasserie & Bar here in San Francisco, a great place to go if you’re thirsty.

  1. OK—I know I said I’d only post these every other day and I’m early. But the Silver and Golden (see previous post) were getting me down.
