Suburban

Named after the Suburban Handicap horse race held in the Brooklyn's Sheepshead Bay during the 1800s, the Suburban Cocktail comes to us via the Old Waldorf-Astoria Bar Book. It was meant to celebrate men such as James R Keene who made their riches in stocks and owned a number of horses.

Suburban: 1 1/2 ounces rye whiskey; 1/2 ounce rum (Jamaican); 1/2 ounce port; 1 dash Angostura Bitters; 1 dash orange bitters; Garnish: Orange twist; Stir with ice and strain into a cocktail glass.; Source: "Old Waldorf Bar Days", by Albert Crockett Stevents (1931)
