History:

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".

Review:

A sloe gin sour with a touch of almond. If you opt not to follow my addition of vanilla bitters, then consider dropping the orgeat to 5ml (1 bar spoon).
