20th Century

Gin, Lillet Blanc, crème de cacao, lemon. C. A. Tuck, 1937, London. Tastes shockingly like a chocolate orange — the white crème de cacao is the secret.

Ingredients

• London Dry Gin1½ ounces
• Lillet Blanc¾ ounce
• White Crème de Cacao½ ounce
• Fresh Lemon Juice¾ ounce

Directions

Combine all ingredients in a shaker with ice. Shake until well-chilled. Double-strain into a chilled coupe.

Notes

Lillet Blanc here, not Cocchi Americano — the floral side pairs with the chocolate. Real crème de cacao.
