TWILIGHT COCKTAIL

Name: TWILIGHT COCKTAIL
Ingredients: 1 1/2 ounces Bourbon whiskey (Originally '1 jigger'. Converted to modern standard (1.5 oz).); 1/2 ounce Sweet Vermouth (Italian Vermouth) (Originally '1/2 pony'. A pony is typically 1 oz, so 1/2 pony is 0.5 oz.); 1 whole Lime (Juiced. Originally 'Juice of whole Lime'.); 2 ounces Seltzer water (Quantity estimated to fill glass. Originally 'fill with Seltzer'.); 1 cup Ice cubes (Originally 'Lump Ice'. Estimated quantity for mixing.)

This refreshing 1917 classic combines the rich warmth of bourbon with the herbal sweetness of Italian vermouth for a sophisticated base. Freshly squeezed lime juice adds a bright, zesty tartness that cuts through the spirits, while a splash of effervescent seltzer lightens the texture. Served in a champagne glass, this elegant cocktail offers a perfect balance of bold flavors and sparkling refreshment.
