The Jerry Thomas Project is based on the blog Julie and Julia. Julie Powel decided to make every dish in Julia Childs cookbook within one year in a tiny kitchen and blog about it. I thought it would be interesting to remake every cocktail in Jerry Thomas’ Bar-Tenders Guide Receipts for Mixing, which is the first cocktail book published in the U.S. I thought it would be easy, as I work in a very stocked bar and have the liberty to order whatever I might need. However, thanks to over 100 years passing and prohibition, many of the ingredients are lost to history and I must also try to recreate bitters and tinctures no seen in over a century. For those of you who don’t know much about Jerry Thomas, he was a dedicated mixologist who traveled the world before there were planes or cars. He was a flashy dresser and traveled with a full set of sterling silver bar tools. His real claim to fame however, is the Blue Blazer – a flaming cocktail that he would make using two metal cups – allowing the flame to create a fire rainbow between them.
Here’s an easy reference to Jerry Thomas Drinks.
If I’ve made them – there’s a link. Otherwise, stay tuned.
