Today we’re making three classic cocktails that sound terrible. On paper, none of these drinks appeal to me, but I’ve been surprised before. They’re all found in The Savoy Cocktail Book, so they’ve got that going for them. These cocktail recipes date back to 1930, so maybe it’s just that our tastes have changed. Or maybe there’s another reason some cocktails get left behind. We’ll taste all three according to the original Savoy recipes and see if any are salvageable. Cheers!
