Tuxedo

IBA

Emerging from the gentlemen's clubs of late 19th-century America, the Tuxedo is a dressed-up variation on the Martini, elevated by a sophisticated array of modifiers. Maraschino liqueur lends a subtle cherry-almond sweetness, while a rinse of absinthe adds an anise-laced intrigue and orange bitters provide aromatic structure. The cumulative effect is a gin cocktail of unusual complexity and quiet elegance.
