noon

1 oz Gin (1 1/2 oz Treehouse Hildegard Von Bingen)
1/2 oz Sweet Vermouth (Giacomo Speroni)
1/2 oz Dry Vermouth (Dolin)
1/2 oz Orange Juice
1 Egg White

Shake one round without ice and one round with ice, strain into a coupe, and garnish with 1 dash bitters (Angostura).Two Fridays ago, I doubled up on my recipes since we had a power outage the night before and I decided not to make a drink in the dark. The drink I wanted to do had a large amount of orange juice, so I decided to doubledown on that ingredient with a drink that I had spotted a reference online for called the Noon. I found the recipe in my copy of Stan Jones' 1977 Complete Barguide, and it read like a Bronx with egg white and bitters garnish (or an abstracted Income Tax Cocktail with egg white). Green Street used to have a classic egg yolk variation called the Bronx Golden on the menu, so the idea of adding eggs did not seem all that unusual. Once shaken and strained, the Noon gave forth an allspice and clove aroma from the Angostura Bitters garnish. Next, a creamy orange sip developed into juniper and grape flavors on the swallow.
