What a fine compliment, thank you. I’ve been pondering the idea…

Another great find, Doug. Thank you. Plus, how can you turn your shoulder to a drink that is described as effervescent? Well done. BTW, I hope you collect all of your posts into a book one of these days. I would be the first to buy a copy.

It crossed my mind that it would be amusing to do up the Communist for May Day, but you’re right—best to wait until sometime when I’m more in the mood for fruit juice. It sounds sort of brunchy, perhaps? I think I first learned of it in Vintage Spirits, too.

Glad you enjoyed the pix, thanks.

The unusual vodka-cognac base is something else! I’ll have to give it a try (perhaps once I get my hands on something beefier than Korbel).
The Atomic reminds me of another drink, the Communist: not truly mid-century (1933), and a bit heavy on the juice (especially orange), but it can run along the same lines, thematically. First found in Vintage Spirits & Forgotten Cocktails.

Beautiful photos, as always, Doug.

Just duck (shoop!) and co-ver!
