Notes
The Bamboo is a classic, low-alcohol aperitif cocktail dating back to the 1880s or 1890s, often attributed to German bartender Louis Eppinger, who served it at the Grand Hotel in Yokohama, Japan (or potentially in San Francisco). It's a variation of the Manhattan or Martini that swaps in fortified wines for hard spirits, resulting in a complex but light drink.
