This is my first foray into MxMo (Mixology Monday). This month's event (MxMo XXIV) is hosted by Jimmy's Cocktail Hour and the theme is "Variations." The challenge is to design a variation on a classic cocktail.I chose to tweak The Income Tax cocktail. The Income Tax itself is a riff on the Bronx Cocktail.
The Bronx Cocktail is made as follows:
Shake together in an iced Boston shaker. Serve in an iced cocktail glass.
- 2 oz. gin
- 1 oz. orange juice (fresh-squeezed please)
- 1/4 oz. sweet vermouth
- 1/4 oz. dry vermouth
- Shake a dash of bitters into your Bronx.

Some times ago I found fresh bloody oranges in my sity and made Bloody Bronx (fresh bloody orange juice instead o.j.). It was so nice. Unfortunately I dont have Regans bitters. May I use Angostura for this cocktails?
Certainly, that's one of many variations on this variation that I tried. I like that option a lot too.
Funny - I was going to post a Bloody Bronx too!
Happy mixing!
The Bronx cocktail is good, isn't it? There was a time that it was hugely popular, more than the Manhattan or many others, and now it's hard to find a bartender who knows how to make it.
Agreed nbm - we tend to do most of our cocktailing at home but we have one or two Bronx-worthy bars we count on. And then when we have to, we educate the masses. Fortunately, it's not a hard drink to make, provided you know what to do. :-)
