1930 Bijou Cocktail From Cocktails By Jimmy - Cocktails After Dark - Glen And Friends Cooking - Old Tom Gin Cocktail Recipe. This cocktail recipe is from the 1930 cocktail book 'Cocktails By Jimmy' published in Canada. Ciro's was a hip London cocktail club, that had Harry McElhone as their bartender. Harry authored a book called 'ABC of Cocktails', after Harry left Ciro's for a job in Paris, Jimmy took over. Who exactly is Jimmy? Well the identity of this bartender remains uncertain, though some believe he may be Jimmy Charters who bartended at the Monte Carlo and Deauville.This particular historic prohibition cocktail book doesn't give any instructions about how to build or mix the cocktails, and only some recipes get instructions about serving and garnishing cocktails. The 'New Brunswick' cocktail is just a list of ingredients and the mixologist is supposed to use their judgement about ice, wether to stir or shake, and how to serve the final result. So if you are just starting out on your road to being an educated barfly, and learning how to drink, follow along with cocktails after dark.Bijou Cocktail Recipe:1 part Green Chartreuse1 part Old Tom Gin1 part Italian VermouthSqueeze a piece of lemon peel on top and serve with a cherry.#LeGourmetTV #GlenAndFriendsCooking #cocktailsafterdarkWelcome friends welcome back to the kitchen, welcome back to cocktails after dark.
