Whirled Peas Thursday #342

[slick]

In honour of today's event, I would like the following please:

The Earthquake Cocktail.
1 jigger gin (I use Bombay Sapphire.)
1 jigger whiskey (I use Old Overholt Rye; try any rye, Canadian or Bourbon.)
1 jigger absinthe (Use the real stuff from Europe if you can get it; otherwise use Herbsaint, Pernod or Ricard).
Shake well and serve in a chilled cocktail glass. You might also want to try standing in a doorway when you drink it (so that you can steady yourself easily).

November 17, 1973

Nixon insists that he is not a crook
On this day in 1973, in the midst of the Watergate scandal that eventually ended his presidency, President Richard Nixon tells a group of newspaper editors that he is "not a crook."

So, may I please have one of these: The Nixon
The Nixon was created by Joe Gilmore, the Head Barman of the American Bar at the Savoy Hotel in London, to mark American President Richard Nixon's visit to Britain in 1969. The cocktail was mixed at the American bar and then sent to Claridge’s where Nixon was staying.
Ingredients
1/2 Bourbon whiskey
1/2 Sloe gin
2 dashes Peach Bitters
Stir and serve on the rocks, decorated with a slice of fresh peach and a cherry.
