Cocktails with a Curator: Leoni's Medal of Andrea Doria
In this week’s episode of “Cocktails with a Curator,” Assistant Curator of Sculpture Giulio Dalvit discusses the history behind a 16th-century medal by Leone Leoni depicting the Genoese admiral Andrea Doria. Currently on view on the third floor of Frick Madison, this maritime-themed medal was cast by the artist as a token of gratitude to its subject, who singlehandedly freed Leone after the artist was sentenced to a galley in the admiral’s fleet. As Andrea Doria waged war on pirates in the western Mediterranean, this week's complementary cocktail is grog, preferred drink of sailors and pirates alike.

How To Make The Mint Julep - Best Drink Recipes
The mint julep is a mixed alcoholic drink, or cocktail, associated with the cuisine of the Southern United States.
A mint julep is traditionally made with four ingredients: mint leaf, bourbon, sugar, and water. Traditionally, spearmint is the mint of choice used in Southern states, and in Kentucky in particular. Proper preparation of the cocktail is commonly debated, as methods may vary considerably from one bartender to another. By another method, the mint julep may be considered a member of a loosely associated family of drinks called smashes (the brandy smash is another example, as well as the mojito), in which fresh mint and other ingredients are muddled or crushed in preparation for flavoring the finished drink. The step further releases essential oils and juices into the mixture, intensifying the flavor from the added ingredient or ingredients.
Traditionally, mint juleps were often served in silver or pewter cups, and held only by the bottom and top edges of the cup. This allows frost to form on the outside of the cup.[1] Traditional hand placement may have arisen as a way to reduce the heat transferred from the hand to the silver or pewter cup. Today, mint juleps are most commonly served in a tall old-fashioned glass, Collins glass, or highball glass with a straw.
The origins of the mint julep are clouded and may never be definitively known. The mint julep was originally prescribed and appears in literature as early as 1784 sickness at the stomach, with frequent retching, and, at times, a difficulty of swallowing. I then prescribed her an emetic, some opening powders, and a mint julep.[2] An appearance of a mint julep in print came in a book by John Davis published in London in 1803, where it was described as a dram of spirituous liquor that has mint steeped in it, taken by Virginians of a morning.[3] However, Davis did not specify that bourbon was the spirit used. The traditional Virginia recipe as served at the Old White is described
...the famous old barroom, which was approached by a spiral staircase. Here in this dark, cool room, scented with great masses of fragrant mint that lay upon mountains of crushed ice, in the olden days were created the White Sulphur mint julep and the Virginia toddy, for which this place was famous the world over. The mint juleps were not the composite compounds of the present day. They were made of the purest French brandy, limestone water, old-fashioned cut loaf sugar, crushed ice, and young mint the foliage of which touched your ears...Here, in this old room, was uttered that famous remark of the Governor of North Carolina to the Governor of South Carolina. It is a long time between drinks.[4]
The mint julep originated in the southern United States, probably during the eighteenth century. U.S. Senator Henry Clay of Kentucky introduced the drink to Washington, D.C., at the Round Robin Bar in the famous Willard Hotel during his residence in the city.[5] The term julep is generally defined as a sweet drink, particularly one used as a vehicle for medicine. The word itself is derived from the Persian word گلاب (Golâb), meaning rose water. Americans enjoyed not only bourbon-based juleps during the nineteenth century, but also gin-based juleps made with genever, an aged gin. Jerry Thomas' Bartenders Guide (1887) includes a recipe for the mint julep allowing for brandy, gin or whiskey.
Recently, however, bourbon-based juleps have decisively eclipsed gin-based juleps.
Cosmopolitan | How to Drink
On this episode of How to Drink, I am making the best Cosmo you’ve ever had in honor of “Sex and the City’s” 20th anniversary. The Cosmopolitan is more than just Vodka cranberry, it is comprised of multiple ingredients, and as I demonstrate in this episode it’s one that leaves some room to improve upon too. Hope you enjoy, cheers!
As to the history of the cocktail, it's a bit murky. Some hold that it was invented at the Odeon in NYC in 1987, but I've read that Wondrich found menu's with it from a hotel bar somewhere in the Caribbean from the 1970's. None the less, it it is an evolution on the Daisy, and as such has pre-prohibition roots, and a cousin to the Margarita.
Cosmopolitan Ingredients:
- .25 oz or 8 ml Simple Syrup
- .5 oz or 15 ml Lime Juice
- 1 oz or 30 ml Cranberry Juice
- 1 oz or 30 ml Curaçao
- 2 oz or 60 ml Vodka
- Barspoon of Maraschino (Optional)
- Garnish with a Lime Wheel
