Dale/David Project #112--Abbey Cocktail

This is the first cocktail in Dale's book and I don't know why we're just now getting to it. Perhaps because it's not all that exciting? Gin, Lillet, Orange Juice, and Angostura. It tasted really orange juicey to me and that is not my favorite flavor. (Dale actually recommends muddling a couple pieces of orange in the shaker before shaking the drink) The drink is then garnished with a flamed orange peel. I'm not sure where this cocktail comes from, but I will investigate that.

If Jerry Thomas were alive today, he may call this the 'Fancy Gin & Juice'
