Olympic

An elegant equal-parts brandy classic from Harry Craddock's 1930 Savoy Cocktail Book — essentially a Sidecar that trades lemon for the rounder sweetness of orange juice. One part brandy, one part curaçao, and one part orange juice are shaken and served up, yielding a warm, citrus-bright sipper with the soft amber depth of cognac behind it. The name evokes the golden age of transatlantic ocean liners.
