"atomic cocktail" news and stories

Back in October I linked to a drink called The Atomic Cocktail, which is made with Plymouth Gin, Galliano, and Grapefruit juice. Now comes another drink with the same name.

This one is via David Wondrich at Esquire, and he says the drink after the jump was invented in Las Vegas in the early 50s. It's made with vodka, brandy, sherry, and champagne.

It's Monday, you're back at work, and you need a drink at the end of a long day. How about an Atomic Cocktail?

It's a rather easy recipe: fill a high ball glass with 2/3 with ice and then throw in 2 oz. each of grapefruit juice and pineapple juice, 1 oz. of Plymouth Gin, and 1/2 of Galliano.

I even like the name. Atomic Cocktail. I don't know how retro it is, but it certainly sounds it.
