Twentieth Century Cocktail
It may be the 21st century but that doesn't take anything away from the twentieth-century cocktail. This is an impressive classic from the early 1900s and it remains a charming little drink. It backs up your favorite gin with Lillet Blanc, crème de cacao, and lemon juice to create an enhanced gin martini with a hint of chocolate and citrus.
