Talimatlar
Pour all ingredients into shaker with ice cubes. Shake well. Strain into chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a lemon twist and a maraschino cherry. Serve without a straw.
Casino is an IBA-recognized Unforgettable cocktail that combines a generous measure of gin with a delicate measure each of maraschino liqueur and fresh lemon juice, finished with two dashes of orange bitters and garnished with a cherry and lemon twist. At 20.64% ABV, it is a balanced, aromatic gin cocktail that sits at the intersection of the martini and sour styles. The orange bitters add a complexity that bridges the botanical gin with the fruit-liqueur elements.
History & Origins
Casino appears in Harry Craddock's Savoy Cocktail Book of 1930, making it one of the definitive cocktails of the golden age of the American Bar at the Savoy Hotel in London. The drink predates Craddock's documentation, however, with versions appearing in earlier 20th century guides. The IBA's recognition of it as an Unforgettable acknowledges its place in the historical canon of gin cocktails.
Tasting Notes
Aroma: Juniper and botanicals from the gin, with orange bitters providing a citrus lift, the nutty cherry sweetness of maraschino, and a bright lemon note. Palate: Gin-led and dry, with the maraschino adding subtle sweetness and the lemon juice a clean tartness; orange bitters weave through, adding complexity. Finish: Medium-length, clean and aromatic.
Pro Tip
Shake all ingredients with ice and double-strain into a pre-chilled cocktail glass to ensure no ice shards dilute the refined presentation.
