Luigi Cocktail

There are only few cocktails that utilize tangerine juice. However, tangerines are one of my favorite citrus fruits, so this cocktail is really a chance for me.

20 ml fresh-pressed tangerine juice

Shake. Cocktail garnish, garnish with a lemon twist.

Admirable!

Golden Dawn

This amazing cocktail was a winner of the ICC 1930 (London). Nine years later Walter Madigan mixed it without calvados and won ICC 1939.

I think now it may be considered as a pure classic (well, at least as an interesting vintage cocktail).

It has complicated taste with undertones of fruits (ripe apples, dried fruits, grapes, apricots) and fabulous look with a little summer sun in your glass.

You may read an interesting related post about the cocktail from Paul Clarke.
