Allies Cocktail
This drink’s single deviation from the typical dry Martini setup of the time is a couple of dashes of the liqueur kümmel, which tastes of caraway and cumin, in place of the usual orange bitters. It’s a nice variation. The name refers to World War I allies England (represented by the gin), France (vermouth), and Russia (kümmel). The recipe comes from Hugo R. Ensslin's 1917 Recipes for Mixing Drinks.
