May 26-Man O’ War

Named after a famous racehorse from the 1919-20 races, this cocktail is an interesting combo of a Daisy, Manhattan and Whiskey Sour. That souinds like a lot but these cocktails actually come together very well. The original cocktail called Man O’ War was an egg nog style cocktail using coindensed milk, sugar and egg with some booze. Another theory about the name of this cocktail is the Man O’ War cocktail lounge from a hotel in Broward County.

This recipe combines Bourbon, Lemon, Cointreau and Sweet Vermouth. And these combine in a damn fine way. It even tied for highest single score in this summer with an 89 tying with the Red Hook.
