Possibly the birthplace of the Club Sandwich
It has a racecourse
And it has a flag with a slightly terrifying seal
OK, those are the three things that we know about Saratoga Springs, NY.
The Saratoga cocktail is Old School - dating back to the 1880s in Saratoga Springs, when it was the centre of the good time, racing and gambling world.
Ingredients
22 ml cognac
22 ml rye
22 ml sweet vermouth
2 dashes orange bitters
A lemon twist
Method
Place all the liquid ingredients into a mixing glass and stir over ice for 25 seconds.
Double strain into a coupette and garnish with the lemon twist.
Place a bet that you won't find a better cocktail tonight.
