BRONX
The name of a meandering river and a borough familiar
in NewYork geography, but, as told elsewhere, the cocktail
was called after the Bronx "Zoo." Many Vflriations' of the
original recipe have become current.
One-fourth Italian Vermuth
One-fourth French Vermuth
One-half Gordon Gin
Frappe with piece of Orange Peel
While the above is the recipe that has come down in the
book, it is not the original Bronx, as it was invented by
Johnnie Solon. As earlier mentioned, that was composed of
one-third Orange Juice, two-thirds Gin, and a dash of
Italian and French Vermuth.
BRUT
An extremely "dry" cocktail. "Brut," the French word,
means "raw." Many of its customers used to pronounce it
"Brute." That's what some thought it was.
