Here’s the Twelve Mile Limit:
1oz White Rum
1/2oz Rye Whiskey
1/2oz Brandy
1/2oz Grenadine
1/2oz fresh lemon Juice
Shake in an iced cocktail shaker, strain into cocktail glass, garnish with lemon twist. The recipe is from 1935 or thereabouts.
I highly recommend this book if your interested in prohibition era cocktails. A lot of them are from bars in Europe as well as speakeasies here in the states. There are also recipes from the 19th century as well as the 1950s.

I used to work in a cocktail bar where we were left to our own devices and so could basically help ourselves. I drank a lot of tequila - arguably the best cocktail ingredient known to man. A blast with salt & lime. Great with pineapple. But for a great option which mixes two spirits try equal parts tequila, Kahlua, and double cream. If you like Brandy Alexanders or Baileys, you'll love this.
A rusty nail was the first thing I thought of. Scotch and drambuie. I use to have a mandarin orange tree so I would use a twist of mandarin orange peal. Its a nice cocktail for the holidays.
Americano
The Americano is Bond’s first drink order in “Casino Royale,” the 1953 book by Ian Fleming that kicked off the series, and the cocktail again makes an appearance in later novels. The man was onto something, but the cocktail predates Bond by nearly a century.
The Americano was first served in the 1860s at Gaspare Campari’s bar in Milan, Italy. The drink, which features Campari and sweet vermouth in equal parts topped with sparkling water, is an effortless take on the Milano-Torino, which contained Campari and sweet vermouth, sans water. It’s believed that the name stems from its popularity among American tourists. And it’s possible that the name wasn’t affixed until the Prohibition era, when Americans absconded to Europe in droves, thirsty for good drinks.
