The Ryde Rowing Club 2018 Christmas

Draw Christmas Cocktail is – “The Bronx Cocktail.”

The Bronx cocktail is a simple variation of a perfect martini that adds orange juice to the mix. ... The story of how the Bronx was created has been questioned many times over the years. It's generally accepted that Johnnie Solon created it at the Waldorf Astoria sometime shortly after 1900.

The Cocktail will be available at the Christmas Draw on - Christmas Eve at the RRC Clubhouse from around 8.30pm – with the first one free to all those in attendance of an appropriate age – with a charge for subsequent cocktails.

We look forward to seeing you there.

For the Ryde R. C. General Committee.
