The Olympic Cocktail

The Olympic CocktailAs the Olympic Winter Games play on, let’s celebrate the occasion with a specialty from 1922. The Olympic Cocktail originated in London and is straightforward, citrusy, and refreshing.

It’s a variation of the well-known Sidecar, switching orange for the Sidecar’s lemony flavor. A couple dashes of orange bitters lend an interesting depth of flavor.
