As far as I can tell, the Journalist cocktail was invented sometime around 1930, and appeared in the Savoy Cocktail book at that time. It’s a dry, crisp, refreshing drink with some pretty decent complexity to it. Try this one out:
Journalist
- 1 1/2 oz gin
- 1/4 oz dry vermouth
- 1/4 oz sweet vermouth
- 1/4 oz lemon juice
- 1/4 oz triple sec
- dash bitters
- shake and strain into a chilled cocktail glass
