Zaza Cocktail

Zaza Cocktail.

The Zaza cocktail, often called the Dubonnet cocktail, captivates with its simplicity and elegance: Dubonnet combined with gin. In the truest sense of the word: a royal drink.

45 ml Hayman Royal Dock gin
45 ml Dubonnet

Preparation: Stirred. Sprinkle with a lemon zest.

Alternatively and currently preferred by us:

45 ml Finsbury 47 gin
45 ml Antica Torino vino chinato

Preparation: 3 ice cubes, stirred for 30 seconds (90 times). Sprinkle with a lemon zest.

This drink was already enjoyed by the Queen Mum, and Elizabeth II is also said to have it daily, shortly before lunch. She prefers it made with one part gin and two parts Dubonnet. [1] [2]

In terms of ingredients, this is a simple drink, but in terms of naming it, it is more difficult. It is mainly published as Zaza Cocktail or Dubonnet Cocktail. However, there are also drinks with a completely different recipe under these two names. In addition, a combination of Dubonnet, gin and optionally bitters is also published under other names. In our collection of recipes in the appendix, however, we do not differentiate according to the type of gin, so that recipes with Orange Gin and Old Tom Gin are also included. Only this gives a complete overview, especially as there are some, albeit few, recipes with the use of Old Tom Gin in a Dubonnet Cocktail. In addition to Zaza Cocktail and Dubonnet Cocktail, we find the following designations, with the year of first publication in parentheses: Appetizer Cocktail (1926), Appetizer No. 1 (1917), Appetizer No. 2 (1956), Arraras Cocktail (1928), Chinita Cocktail (1930), Colonial (1953), Coronation 1953 (1965), Daunou Cocktail (1927), Dauphine Cocktail (1931), Early Bird (1951), Edner Cocktail (1916), Hevia Cocktail (1930), Jackson Cocktail (1917), Jack Zeller (1908), Merry Widow Cocktail (1916), Nassau (1930), Piccad (1977), Real Cocktail (1927), Royal Cocktail (1922), Simpático (1930), Transvaal (1956).

Zaza Cocktail - Naming.
Zaza Cocktail – Naming.

So what should we call this drink? We decide on Zaza Cocktail. The reasons are as follows:

Because of the accumulation, only Zaza Cocktail or Dubonnet Cocktail come into consideration. All the other names appear too rarely and are only used in 15 to 20 percent of cases.

At the beginning, the term Zaza Cocktail for drinks made with Dubonnet, gin and optionally bitters predominates over the term Dubonnet Cocktail for the same combination. Moreover, in this period, a Dubonnet Cocktail is predominantly understood as a drink made with other ingredients, whereas this is not the case for a Zaza Cocktail. So we are right to call this drink a Zaza Cocktail.The first printed recipe for a Zaza cocktail that we could find dates back to 1900. This is a combination of gin, French vermouth, bitters and some maraschino juice, [3] i.e. a kind of “fancy Martini Cocktail”, and we therefore do not want to consider this finding here for the naming. Here the Martini Cocktail, or rather the Martinez Cocktail, certainly has the older naming rights. We first found the name Zaza Cocktail for a combination of Dubonnet, gin and optional bitters in the books in 1908.

Zaza Cocktail. The New York Times. 8. May 1904.

But it is mentioned in the New York Times as early as 1904: [6] „The Zaza cocktail is not so old but that it is new, and it finds favor with many of the Broadwayites. It is made up of dry gin, Dubonnet, and orange bitters, served in a cocktail glass. A modification of this, known as the Dubonnet cocktail, is made of Dubonnet, brandy, and orange bitters, the only difference being the substitution of brandy for the dry gin.“

Zaza Cocktail. The Washington Herald, 15. May 1907, page 3.
Zaza Cocktail. The Washington Herald, 15. May 1907, page 3. [4]
This suggests that the Zaza Cocktail was quite popular, and not only in New York. This is the only explanation for the fact that in 1907 it was used in The Washington Herald to advertise the purchase of gin and Dubonnet from the To-Kalon Wine Co. [4]

Zaza Cocktail. The San Francisco Call, 14. December 1908, page 4.
Zaza Cocktail. The San Francisco Call, 14. December 1908, page 4. [5]

In 1908, we read about the Zaza Cocktail in The San Francisco Call. It is reported that it was introduced to French visitors coming from Korea by Jules Clerfayt and that it was drunk several times. Unfortunately, we are not told what this Zaza Cocktail drunk in San Francisco was made of. [5]

The version with Dubonnet and gin is always prepared either with or without additional bitters. A look at the recipes will tell you which version is preferred:

Zaza Cocktail - Ingredients.
Zaza Cocktail – Ingredients.

It turns out that up to 1919, gin and Dubonnet are prepared without bitters in about 75 per cent of the cases; after 1941, it is only about 65 per cent. We follow this assessment and refrain from adding bitters, especially since Dubonnet itself already contains bitters. There are various possibilities for the garnish; we find a lemon zest quite suitable.

Not much can be said about the meaning of the name. No explanation can be found. There is, however, a reference by William Boothby in 1908 that the Zaza cocktail originated in France and was well known in French cafés.

But here too, unfortunately, we do not know whether the Zaza cocktail came from France and became known in the USA, or whether it originated in the USA and was made known in every French café by 1908. We think the first variant is the most likely: the cocktail originated in France.

However, some say that the drink was named after the French play “Zaza”. It was written by Pierre Berton and Charles Simon, and the first performance took place at the “Théâtre du Vaudeville” in Paris in May 1898. Also in 1898, the English-language adaptation was performed at the “Lafayette Square Opera House” in Washington, D.C. and then in 1899 at the “Garrick Theatre” in New York City. [3] [7]

The Garrick Theatre is directly adjacent to Broadway. [11] The success of the Zaza Cocktail on Broadway could therefore be well explained by the performance of the stage work on Broadway.

Gabrielle Réjane, about 1906.
Gabrielle Réjane, about 1906. [8]

The role of Zaza was played very successfully in Paris by Gabrielle Réjane. [7] [9] In New York von Leslie Carter. [12]

Against this background, it is therefore quite conceivable that the cocktail was actually named after this piece. Its popularity in France also fits into this picture.

There is also the possibility that the cocktail was named after an opera by Ruggero Leoncavallo that premiered in Milan in 1900 and was also performed in Paris in 1903, [10] but we consider this connection very unlikely.

It is also said that the ‘Dubonnet Cocktail’ originated in New York, at the Café Martin, which was run by Jean-Baptiste Martin, who came from France. [13-236]

1922 Robert Vermeire: Cocktails. Dubonnet Cocktail.

Dubonnet is one of the best-known appetisers in the world. It is not only used for cocktails but also as a cooler and highball.

The Dubonnet Cocktail, formerly called “Zaza Cocktail,” includes:
1/4 gill of Gin.
1/4 gill of Dubonnet.
Stir up in ice, strain into a cocktail-glass, and squeeze orange-peel on top.

When desired dry, use 2/6 gill of Gin and 1/6 gill of Dubonnet instead of equal parts.

In San Francisco the Dubonnet Cocktail is made differently. Its ingredients are:
3 dashes of Orange Bitters.
2/6 gill of Dubonnet.
1/6 gill of Dry Pale Sherry.
Stir up well, strain into a cocktail-glass, with a cherry and lemon-peel squeezed on top.

Another Cocktail made with Dubonnet which is very popular in London just now includes:
1 dash of Orange Bitters.
1 dash of Angostura Bitters.
1/6 gill of Dubonnet.
1/6 gill of Sherry.
1/6 gill of French Vermouth.
Orange-peel squeezed on top.

1922 Robert Vermeire: Cocktails. Royal Cocktail.

Fill the bar glass half full of broken ice and add:
1 dash of Orange Bitters.
1 dash of Angostura Bitters.
2/6 gill of Gin.
1/6 gill of Dubonnet.

was somewhat milder than the Salome, for only one-
third of its content was Old Tom Gin, that being allied

Bitters.

MIXING A DUBONNET COCKTAIL
To make a Dubonnet Cocktail is one of the simplest opera-
tions of them all. Two ounces of gin and two ounces of
Dubonnet, a French preparation whose ingredients are
secret, should be shaken until cold and served in cocktail
glass. Easy, isn’t it? Try it with whisky or rum, instead of
gin. Maybe you’ll like it. I do.

The stage, whether or not it drove men to drink in
those days, certainly inspired much drinking, and success-
ful plays often stood godfather for bartenders’ concep-
tions. …

Mrs.
Leslie Carter must have heard, when she helped make
David Belasco loom larger on the theatrical map, that
“Zaza” made one of its biggest hits in the form of an
invention of a Waldorf barman. The Zaza cocktail was
somewhat milder than the Salome, for only one-third of
its content was Old Tom Gin, that being allied with two-
thirds Dubonnet and tw’o dashes of Orange Bitters.

About

Hi, I'm Armin and in my spare time I want to promote bar culture as a blogger, freelance journalist and Bildungstrinker (you want to know what the latter is? Then check out "About us"). My focus is on researching the history of mixed drinks. If I have ever left out a source you know of, and you think it should be considered, I look forward to hearing about it from you to learn something new. English is not my first language, but I hope that the translated texts are easy to understand. If there is any incomprehensibility, please let me know so that I can improve it.
