'The East India cocktail was first published in Harry Johnson\'s New and Improved Bartenders Manual in 1882. I was named after the World\'s first huge company The Dutch East India Company. It\'s ingredients indicative of what that company would have been importing at the time. This cocktail is an adapted version of the Original. I know a bunch of you are going to comment on this but as I\'ve said before, I will default to what I think is best over what is \"Traditional\" and sometimes what is traditional is best, sometimes it isn\'t. That being said this gives me room to make another tutorial of the original recipe, so try and judge this cocktail on it\'s own merit. Here\'s links to the gear I\'m using: Japanese Bitters dasher: https://amzn.to/2NIzA6W Barfly Shaking Set: https://amzn.to/2CSjOlz Barfly Hawthorn Strainer: https://amzn.to/2OjdQM1 Barfly Fine Strainer: https://amzn.to/2CPmoJb Graduated Jigger: https://amzn.to/2QsyYRm Also, forgot to mention that I have been making Tee Shirts and my store is up now,honestly I priced these low enough that I don\'t make much money off them but they\'re pretty cool so here\'s a link if you want to check it out: https://www.drinkmerch.com Here\'s The Specs: 1.5oz (45ml) Cognac .75oz (20ml) Lemon Juice .75oz (20ml) Pineapple Juice .75oz (20ml) Maraschino Liqueur 3 Dashes Angostura Bitters Lemon Twist'
