Brut cocktail

The brut cocktail is an early cocktail that appears in William "Cocktail" Boothby's 1908 work The World's Drinks and How to Mix Them^[1] as "a la (strong cigar) Tom Walsh, Seattle, Wash. Into a small mixing-glass full of cracked ice place a few drops of Angostura bitters, two dashes of Orange bitters, one-third of a jigger of Picon and two-thirds of a jigger of French vermouth; stir briskly, strain into a cocktail glass, squeeze a piece of lemon peel over the top and don't forget to ring up the money."
