Comment on The Lyndhurst Cocktail by musingsonthevine

Hi Marlon – I place a “bead” of honey around the rim of the gass, then I finely grate fresh ginger, place it on a shallow plate with raw sugar then twist the inverted cocktail glass onto the plate to “transfer” the raw sugar/ginger mix to the honey coated rim of the glass… Make sense? You could also mix the honey, raw sugar and ginger together at once and apply, but I find my method more practical on the bar… Glad you enjoyed the post. Cheers! Paul

Not sure… I know that as of Friday, March 15, 2013, my favorite wine shop had about 5 cases left…

Do you by any chance know how many cases of this wine were produced?

Paul:

You should have called me, I would have had you “on my boat” for a “tasting on the water”! ….next time! John

Paul,
Your blog is excellent.
Interesting, informative, excellently written and visual presentation. Light, upbeat, enthusiastic and includes great buys on good wine.

Your teaching us to appreciate and enjoy wine leads to an attitude of appreciating and enjoying life (including people) in general.

Thanks,
Dave Lewis

Thanks, Denise – I’m not sure if something originally created in 1915 can actually be called “cutting edge,” but I’ll take it! Cheers!

Hi Paul,

I’ve seen this cocktail on several menus in Boston over the past 3 months. The descriptions are equally divided between the cognac base and the gin base with the same historical context. You are, as ever, on the cutting edge. Or better said, on the sugared rim, of all things sophisticated adult beverage!

Love the Boston Shaker – a great resource for all things cocktail! And, yes, one does have to eat, if only to have an excuse for another libation…
