Old Etonian (cocktail)
The Old Etonian is a classic cocktail that originated in the United Kingdom. It is named after the alumni of Eton College, a prestigious independent boarding school in Eton, near Windsor in England, often referred to as "Old Etonians".
History[edit | edit source]
The Old Etonian cocktail was first mentioned in print in Harry Craddock's The Savoy Cocktail Book in 1930. Craddock was a famous bartender at the Savoy Hotel in London, and his book is considered a classic in the world of mixology.
Ingredients[edit | edit source]
The Old Etonian cocktail is made with gin, lillet blanc, Cointreau, and aromatic bitters. Some variations of the recipe also include a dash of absinthe.
Preparation[edit | edit source]
To prepare an Old Etonian, the ingredients are combined in a mixing glass with ice. The mixture is then stirred until well chilled and strained into a cocktail glass. The drink is traditionally garnished with a twist of lemon peel.
Popularity[edit | edit source]
The Old Etonian is not as widely known as other classic cocktails such as the Martini or the Manhattan, but it has a dedicated following among cocktail enthusiasts. Its unique combination of ingredients gives it a complex and sophisticated flavor profile that is appreciated by those with a taste for classic cocktails.
