Saratoga Brace Up | Cocktail Party

Saratoga Brace Up

The Saratoga Brace Up originally appeared way back in 1887, in Jerry Thomas’ Bartender’s Guide. We like this updated take by Alba Huerta, owner of bar Julep in Houston. It’s rich, sweet, and well-balanced between the woody caramel of the cognac and the herbal anise flavor of absinthe.

Instructions

Shake all ingredients vigorously, without ice. Add ice and shake again, even more vigorously. Double-strain through a fine mesh strainer into a flute glass. Garnish with a whole star anise pod.

An awesome cocktail app with curated recipes

I'm shocked that there are no reviews listed for this app. I found it on reddit's cocktails forum. The drink list in this app is much shorter than in many of the other apps I've seen, but the quality and reliability of the recipes is much much higher. These are more like the drinks you would get at a good mixology bar instead of the drink equivalent of your aunt's jello fruit mold that people just "love." I much prefer a list of cocktails that are reliable, good and repeatable than a huge pile of garbage recipes. This app is great and delivers great, reliable cocktails.
