How to make a Japanese Cocktail

It's hard to understand how the Japanese Cocktail has slid into obscurity. While you might find it listed in some of the modern cocktail books, you'll be hard pressed to find one that uses the original recipe from Jerry Thomas' "Bar Tenders Guide" published in 1887. Properly made the sweet almond flavor of the orgeat balances the brandy and the bitters to present a very enticing drink.
