A classic and elegant gin cocktail
The Casino is a classic cocktail that dates back to the early 1900s and was first documented in 'The Savoy Cocktail Book' by Harry Craddock. With a base of gin and maraschino liqueur, combined with orange liqueur and a tart twist of lemon juice, the Casino is both sophisticated and refreshing. This drink is a great choice for those who appreciate the balance of sweetness and acidity, along with a hint of bitterness from orange.
