Auditorium Cooler

Written By Al Culliton

This refreshing mocktail is a kind of Improved Ginger Ale, accented with lemon, raspberry, and Angostura bitters. The name makes me think about the moment in time when the first three Jack’s Manual editions were published (1908, 1910, 1916), the rise of the temperance movement, and teetotalers seeking entertainment at musical and theatrical performances given in auditoriums.

1 oz. lemon juice
¾ oz. raspberry syrup
6 dashes Angostura bitters
3 oz. ginger beer, divided
