Bronx – Dry & Fresh

The Bronx is a classic cocktail. It was created in 1906 by Johnny Solon, the bartender at New York’s Waldorf-Astoria hotel. One story has it that Solon visited the Bronx zoo and saw many strange beasts, and thinking of many of his customers after too many drinks, he christened his cocktail the Bronx.  It is a gin-based cocktail with sweet and dry vermouth, and a bit of orange juice. This well-balanced drink makes a perfect apéritif.
