According to Seattle cocktail expert and writer Robert Hess, no one really knows why this drink is called The Income Tax Cocktail, and we can only assume it is so named because it numbs the pain of filing a tax return!
If you have heard of The Bronx cocktail, then you may recognize the Income Tax as a Bronx cocktail with the addition of bitters.
Do yourself a favor, and squeeze the 3/4 ounce of orange juice from a fresh orange. You will appreciate the difference!

3/4 oz orange juice
1/4 oz dry vermouth
