#45: Trade Wind Cocktail


     Served in a wine goblet, the Trade Wind Cocktail is another on the slow sipping-drink list.  As the name suggests, this drink was created at the Trade Winds Restaurant on Long Island in the late 50s.  This is another rare tiki drink to include Gin in the recipe.

  • 1 1/4 oz Gin
  • 3/4 oz orange curacao
  • 1 1/2 oz fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon of simple syrup
  • 1 egg white
The curacao offsets what would otherwise be a pretty sour drink.  Good for someone looking for a pretty intensely tart drink to sip down.  On to the next!
