History
A sloe gin sour with a touch of almond. If vanilla bitters are not used, then consider dropping the orgeat to 5ml (1 bar spoon).
The Ocean Shore cocktail first appears in the "Some new up-to-now seductive American cocktails" annexe of William "Cocktail Bill" Boothby's 1908 book The World's Drinks And How To Mix Them with a choice of "one-third raspberry or Orgeat syrup". OCEAN SHORE COCKTAIL. One-half Sloe gin, one-third Coates Plymouth gin, one-third raspberry or Orgeat syrup, juice of lime or lemon to overcome the sweetness of the syrup, and the white of half an egg. Shake well with cracked ice, and serve in small claret glass. By the time the cocktail makes it into the main section of Boothby's 1934 edition , only orgeat syrup appears and this repeated in Hyman Gale and Gerald F. Marco's 1937 The How and When.
