History[edit | edit source]
The Casino cocktail is a classic drink that dates back to the early 20th century. It is featured in the "Savoy Cocktail Book" by Harry Craddock, published in 1930. The cocktail is a fine example of the Prohibition era drinks that have stood the test of time due to their sophisticated flavor profiles.
Variations[edit | edit source]
While the classic Casino recipe is well-regarded, there are several variations that enthusiasts might explore:
- Casino Royale: A variation that includes the addition of champagne to add effervescence.
- Dry Casino: Uses dry gin and reduces the amount of maraschino liqueur for a less sweet version.
