It’s been radio silence here for the last few days.\u00c2\u00a0 Sorry about that.\u00c2\u00a0 Things have been busy.\u00c2\u00a0 I haven’t been completely lazing around, though.\u00c2\u00a0 While looking through some of my old books for more recipes I stumbled upon the Mamay Taylor.\u00c2\u00a0 Which, interestingly, in this spelling isn’t mentioned much on the internet at all.\u00c2\u00a0 In fact, I was only able to find one reference in a 1904 book on the EUVS (Exposition Universelle des Vins et Spiritueux<\/a>) site.\u00c2\u00a0 Frank Newman’s American Bar<\/a> gives the recipe for the cocktail, albeit in French, that matches the one I found in my reprint of Harry McElhone’s 1927 book Barflies and Cocktails<\/span>.\u00c2\u00a0 The recipe is much different from the one I’ve been focusing on the last couple weeks.<\/p>\n

\"Mamay<\/a><\/p>\n

Mamay Taylor (Barflies and Cocktails)<\/strong><\/pre>\n
2 oz Gin\r\nSlice of Lemon\r\nGinger Ale<\/strong><\/pre>\n
1) Add lemon and ice to a glass\r\n2) Add gin and top with ginger ale<\/strong>\r\n<\/pre>\n
I’ve got to think it’s also named for Mamie Taylor.\u00c2\u00a0 And, since the Mamie Taylor originated in 1899, it seems logical that this drink could be a spin off of the original.\u00c2\u00a0 The drink itself is quite tasty.\u00c2\u00a0 However, as listed it lacks a sourness to balance out the sweet of the ginger ale.\u00c2\u00a0 I fixed that with about 1\/3 oz of lemon juice.\u00c2\u00a0 The lemon slices are still nice in there though.\u00c2\u00a0 They add some natural bitterness and the oils in the skin add additional lemon flavor.\u00c2\u00a0 I’ll be filling you in on my thoughts on the Mamie Taylor.\u00c2\u00a0 Until then, try a Mamay Taylor.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s a good twist on this classic.<\/p>\n
