Tal día como hoy, el 29 de Febrero de 1928, Harry Craddock creó en el Hotel Savoy de Londres el Leap Year Cocktail, el cóctel del año bisiesto, y que gracias a su maravillosa biblia The Savoy Cocktail Book podemos disfrutarlo hoy en dia y celebrar este día como se merece una vez cada cuatro años.
Leap Year Cocktail
1/6 Vermut Italiano
2/3 Gin
1/6 Grand Marnier
Unas gotas de zumo de limón
Agitar vigorosamente todos los ingredientes y servir en un vaso tipo cocktail (martini) y perfumar con los aceites de una corteza de limón al finalizar el cocktail.
Feliz Año Bisiesto!!

Hey Jared! Have you done the «collage»?? I saw the pic in Eric’s facebook and pick it for the blog, let me know if you did to make a proper mention to you! thanks for reading mixologiablog!
Hola Daniel! This is a great blog. I can read just enough Spanish (sometimes with the help of Babelfish to translate). The photo of the Leap Year Cocktail is one I took yesterday from the 1930 Savoy. I keep it next to my prized copy of Pedro Chicote’s Mis 500 Cock•tails. Chicote was also an outstanding barman. So many excellent recipes in his books. I will be sharing some of his recipes soon.
Mention updated Jared! Can’t wait to see your post on Chicote.. he was (and is) a legend and real endorser of post-prohibition era for Spanish bartending… a lot of urband legend are around in his Gran Via’s place!Now a Italian Bartender started running again and hopefully he can renew a place that has been a little bit damaged in the last decade in terms of good quality and crafted cocktail.. let me know when you are over Spain next!
