| French Pearl | ||
| The French Pearl was created by Audrey Saunders in 2006 for the Pegu Club in New York City. This drink was created as a tribute to the Beaux-Arts Neoclassical architectural movement of the late 1800's in France. In this era it was very common and quite fashionable to sip Pastis (Anise Liqueur without the Wormwood) and the cocktail takes it's name from the visual opacity of the drink. This effect is referred to as "Louching" which occurs naturally when any anise liqueur meets water. This brings me to a small note on my execution of this cocktail: I took some liberties in it's creation, firstly the original calles for .25oz (7.5ml) Pernod Pastis ( This is the original White label Pernod) I used the Pernod Absinthe Superior which is now available after the 2007 repeal of the dumb law banning Absinthe in the US. I used an atomizer to wash the glass with Absinthe as it is much more aromatic and you get a better more even note of Anise. | ||

| The Daisy | ||
| The Daisy cocktail has undergone a lot of tweaking over the years. The essential DNA of the Daisy involves adding a little soda water to a Sour (spirit, citrus, sweetener). Beyond that, though, you can take some liberties. Jerry Thomas called for shaved ice; Savoy, for cracked. Any number of base spirits have been used as a foundation, and depending on which source you read, the finished drink should be poured into a cocktail glass, pewter mug, Julep cup, large goblet or glass highball. Earlier recipes include orange cordial, but by the early 20th century, grenadine had become the traditional sweetening agent. All versions, however, agree that a Daisy should be cold, refreshing and garnished with seasonal fruit. The following recipes are representative of then older and more modern versions. | ||
| Cocktail Categories | ||

Some of these cocktail families are forgotten and facing extinction while others, such as the Daiquiri, Sour and Colada dynasties, are better known now than when they were first conceived. Follows the 36 families which populate the world of cocktails. While not advocating that every cocktail should be pigeonholed under one of the following headings – history/rules should not be allowed to stifle creativity – these cocktail family names do give an indication to the drinker the style of cocktail they are ordering.
