Casino Royale is a rich and unusual gin cocktail that incorporates egg yolk rather than egg white, resulting in a luxuriously thick, golden drink with a uniquely creamy and indulgent texture. At 18.31% ABV, it is a serious, spirit-forward cocktail that layers gin's botanicals with lemon juice, maraschino, and orange bitters, all unified by the richness of the egg yolk. The yolk contributes both color and an emulsified, velvety consistency.
History & Origins
Casino Royale takes its name from Ian Fleming's 1953 James Bond novel, in which 007's first adventure is set. The cocktail is a variation on the classic Casino but uses egg yolk instead of egg white, which was a common technique in early 20th-century bartending to add richness. The precise origin of this specific recipe is disputed, though it appears in several mid-20th century cocktail compendiums.
Tasting Notes
Aroma: Rich and complex — gin botanicals, lemon zest, the faint almond-cherry of maraschino, and the orange-spice of bitters, with a subtle egg richness. Palate: Unusually thick and creamy from the egg yolk; gin's botanicals integrate with the tart lemon and sweet maraschino, while the orange bitters add aromatic depth; the yolk provides a luxurious body unlike any other cocktail. Finish: Rich, medium-long, with a warm botanical complexity.
Pro Tip
Shake with extra vigor and plenty of ice to fully emulsify the egg yolk into the drink, and ensure the egg is fresh and of the highest quality.
